Corrine Rey and her daughter saw two other cartoonists being killed

She says men 'who spoke perfect French' claimed to be Al Qaeda terrorists
Attackers were reportedly heard shouting: 'the Prophet has been avenged'
The masked men asked people's names before killing editor and cartoonist
'There were several corpses on the floor,' said office worker from building
He entered room right after attackers had gone to see 'blood everywhere'
A young mother and cartoonist who survived the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris today said she had let the suspected Al Qaeda killers into the magazine office.
Corrine Rey said she had returned from picking up her young daughter from a kindergarten when she was confronted by two heavily armed men wearing balaclavas.
'I had gone to pick up my daughter at day care, arriving in front of the magazine building, where two masked and armed men brutally threatened us,' said Ms Rey, who draws under the name 'Coco'.
'They said they wanted to go up to the offices, so I tapped in the code,' said Ms Rey, referring to the digi-code security system on the inter-phone.
Miss Rey and her daughter hid under a desk, from where they saw two other cartoonists being executed.
'They shot Wolinski and Cabu,' she said, 'It lasted five minutes. I had taken refuge under a desk.
She said the men 'spoke French perfectly' and 'claimed they were 'Al Qaeda terrorists'.

And I’m sure he spent a few minutes pondering the situation before undertaking it too.
You have a rank civilian and you are screaming that she isn’t as macho as you are. Where is the criticism from the people who put her in this spot? Maybe even playing down the risk?
Give it a rest, chesty thumpers.
OMG... hindsight and all that but still...
Even an old rentacop behind bulletproof glass with a revolver and an alarm button would have been a deterrent...
Was someone saying something about cost?
You are studiously ignoring the main point...would you de facto kill other people's children to save your own?
“LOL,,, that your best shot?
Stick around and let’s find out ;)”
OHHHHHH,,, that gave me a chill. Mommy look at the scary man!! But seriously, get back to class.
When that gets juxtaposed to a brick and mortar spot, we’ll figure it means a lot (not that I would ask anybody to do it in a million years). This has gotten batted about the internet for years, you are just one more doing it.
While the cowards are, at least temperamentally, female, and see no higher calling than saving their own.....
You are really exaggerating and you know it. What risk would you consider acceptable to your own child before sacrificing same. Please tell us!
Glad I’m not your kid, you’d feed me to a jihadist in a minute.
And it is so funny you speak of higher calling... show us that it isn’t measured in fluid ounces please....
Then stop telling men how they are to provide for your security.
yep. Lots of huff and puff.
Why of course they are supposed to do so by feeding their children to killers.
i was replying to another post . and it reminded me of Tod Beamer. seems that people forgot that and 9/11.
Radio anyone? Which would give even more credence to Travis McGee's position....
Childish of you. Again, you mistake posturing for bravery. I don’t think you are a coward. But you obviously feel you were cheated out of your chance for glory in combat. Go see a shrink. Or go to the VFW and tell the guys who you wish you would have been sent back in the day.
Notice the looks on their faces jackwagon.
They had nothing to lose...
There are plenty of historical examples of people doing nothing, even though their deaths were imminent.
AND... there are also glorious examples of people acting with death mere seconds away.
I and others are in no mood for charity.
You might want to clarify your response.
How about the folks that put the woefully unprepared, and probably also ignorant, woman in this spot... not a word for them. It’s easy to blame the face you can see. What about the other faces you cannot?
It think the “I know you are, but what am I” poster here is obvious to all.
Watching Cavuto now who has a talking head on. It was just mentioned that it is obvious there was meticulous planning, then said it could even be an inside job. Which makes me wonder several things......did the mother usually bring her child to work from daycare routinely, on a daily basis? Or was the mother involved?
That is so much pricked-conscience incoherence...
