French police were conducting a massive search for three men in Wednesday's brutal attack on the offices of a French satirical newspaper. The youngest of the three suspects, Hamyd Mourad, 18, surrendered to police early Thursday, police told ABC. Mourad's surrender also was reported by AFP and France24, with both citing unnamed sources.

Police said they were looking for two brothers aged 32 and 34 from the Paris region, as well as an 18-year-old man from the city of Reims. One of the brothers has previously been tried on terrorism charges, Reuters said.

Masked gunmen stormed the offices of the Charlie Hebdo weekly in Paris on Wednesday and opened fire during an editorial meeting. Twelve people were killed, including Charlie Hebdo's publisher, Stéphane Charbonnier, and his police bodyguard. Economist and journalist Bernard Maris, who was a contributor to the weekly, and cartoonists Cabu, Georges Wolinski and Bernard Verlhac were also killed in the attack.
