It's believed that at least 128 people were killed in six separate terror attacks in the French capital attack last night. In January of this year, two gunmen walked into the Charlie Hebdo office, located in Paris and opened fire, killing 12 people. The hashtag #ParisisaboutLight has been picked up on social media with people posting photos.
