An Australian woman's French boyfriend who was gravely injured in the Charlie Hedbo shooting has woken up from the coma he was in for eight days. Simon Fieschi, 31, was in an induced coma after a bullet punctured his lung and spine in the terror attack where two men massacred five of his colleagues in a hail of gunfire at the satirical newspaper's office in Paris. Masie Dubosarky was visiting friends and family in Sydney for Christmas when the attack took place, and flew to be by her boyfriend's side on Friday as he underwent surgery for the gunshot wounds.
