Brothers who killed- Charlie Hebdo staff, a visitor, and a caretaker
- Frederic Boisseau

- Charb/Stéphane Charbonnier

- Bernard Maris
- Michel Renaud
- Mustapha Ourrad

- Brigadier Franck Brinsolaro
- Ahmed Merabet
- Charlie Hebdo staff, a visitor, and a caretaker
- Amedy Coulibaly, who demanded release of the Kouachi brothers
He apparently killed - Philippe Braham

A tip of the hat to Catholic Scot, on Twitter, for alerting me to confirmation of the 20th linked death.
