At least 11 people were killed in a shooting at the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical newspaper firebombed in the past after publishing cartoons joking about Muslim leaders.
France Info radio also said police had confirmed a toll of 10 dead and five injured after masked gunmen with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades stormed the building.
The news channel quoted a witness as saying he saw the incident from a building nearby in the heart of the French capital.
Pierre de Cossette, a broadcast journalist with Europe1 News, said: 'Several men in black cagoules were heard to shout "the Prophet has been avenged".'
