Harrowing Video Shows Police Storming Paris Market, Shooting Gunman
[There was a video here]
This afternoon France 2 released video of police storming the kosher supermarket in eastern Paris where Amedy Coulibaly had taken 14 people hostage. The video shows several dozen police firing into the store and tossing flash grenades until Couibaly, who earlier in the week allegedly killed a Paris police officer, runs out. The video pauses before Couibaly is killed, but France 2 reports he was shot 60 times. Seconds later, the video resumes and terrified hostages are seen fleeing the market.
Four hostages were killed and five more were injured during the standoff, which Couibaly reportedly seized as part of a coordinated attack with the two Charlie Hebdo suspects. Two police officers were also injured in the raid. Five hostages escaped unharmed.
