A Charlie Hebdo cartoonist was forced to let the masked gunmen inside the magazine office building. This is her story...

Corinne Rey, 32, said she and her young daughter were forced at gunpoint to let the two masked gunmen into the Charlie Hebdo building.

Rey, who is also an award-winning cartoonist like her colleagues at Charlie Hebdo, said the man spoke to her in perfect French and told her they wanted to go in and go up.

She said she feared for her life and the life of her daughter and she typed the code and let them in.

"I watched helplessly as the gunmen opened fire in the newsroom. My daughter and I hid under a desk.

Within five minutes, the terrorists murdered 10 of her colleagues. They then went down  to the street and executed an injured police officer.

"They shot it last five minutes," she said.  "I took shelter under a desk."

The killers remain at large.
