Ten journalists and two police officers are confirmed dead. Ryan Broderick at Buzzfeed compiled 23 cartoons created by artists around the world who are mourning and paying tribute to the journalists who were killed in the attack.

Here are seven of those cartoons:

Sorrowful thoughts, prayers, and condolences are lighting up the internet for the innocents who were killed today. May they rest in peace.
