POLICE officers and staff in Wiltshire held a two minute silence at 10.30am today to pay their respects to the victims of yesterday's terrorist attack in Paris.

A total of 12 people, including two police officers, lost their lives when gunmen opened fire at the offices of magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Another policewoman was shot dead at point blank range by a gunman in a southern suburb of Paris this morning, in an attack which police believe may be linked to the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
