Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Corrine Rey gave the passcode the the office building to two masked and armed terrorists who ended up killing 12 in the French satirical magazine's office today.

Corinne Rey told a French publication that she and her daughter hid under a desk and they witnessed the massacre and killing of at least two cartoonist in the same room.

"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. They said they wanted to go up to the offices, so I tapped in the code. ...They shot Wolinski and Cabu. It lasted five minutes. I had taken refuge under a desk."
