'I just wish it wasn't real': Sydney woman's partner wounded in France terror attack

A Sydney woman has rushed to her boyfriend's side in France after he was shot in the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack.

Maisie Dubosarsky, 27, had corresponded with her partner Simon Fieschi just ten minutes before three masked gunmen armed with AK-47s burst in and slaughtered ten of his colleagues.

Two policemen were also killed in France's worst terror attack in 50 years.

Brothers Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi are still both on the run and are wanted by French police in connection with the attacks.

Both are French nationals in their early 30s, and 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad handed himself into police about 11pm French time after he saw his name circulating on social media.

Mr Fieschi, 31, is in an induced coma and fighting for his life, his partner said she feared the worst when she heard about the shooting, reports Fairfax media.

A short time after the attack Mr Mr Fieschi's mother sent her an email saying her son had been shot but was alive and undergoing surgery.

Ms Dubosarsky said: 'When they wake him up, we'll start to know,'

'Last night I was so happy because he wasn't dead.

'Now, realising that he might not walk again... it's kind of terrible. I just wish it wasn't real,' she told Fairfax.

Her mother told Daily Mail Australia she was 'terribly distressed' and would hopefully be back in Paris when he wakes up.

Mr Fieschi ran the magazine's social media accounts and would regualary have to deal with angry calls from offended readers.

'He liked to say that his job was to troll people," Ms Dubosarsky said.

'They're very cool people [at Charlie Hebdo] and they tell people to get lost.'

As Ms Dubosarsky makes her way to Paris it is still not clear it is thought the bullet that hit him appeared to have ricocheted off his spinal vertebrae, perforating a lung.

The full extent of his injuries are still not yet known.
