Charlie Hebdo shooting
On 7 January 2015 Sourisseau was shot and wounded in the shoulder during the terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo office. From the hospital, he drew four cartoons for the issue of Charlie Hebdo released on 14 January. Six months after the attack, Soursseau said he would no longer draw the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, stating that "We've done our job. We have defended the right to caricature." Riss is now the publishing director of the magazine, and he owns 70% of the shares.
