Heart-breaking new footage of police assault on kosher store
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrance2 posts a heart-breaking amateur video [warning: graphic] of the police assault on the kosher supermarket in Paris, which brought the siege to an end.
As the camera zooms in on the entrance to the store, where police were waiting to storm in, what appears to be a man’s body is seen laying on the floor. Security forces then swoop in and are met with gunfire, forcing them to pull back momentarily.
An explosion can be seen inside the store, after which the forces move in in full force. Hostages are seen pushing past them, looking frightened and shocked.
Two policemen carry a body outside and set it on the sidewalk as the rest move in. The camera then focuses on a policeman seen dragging what appears to be an injured colleague away from the store.
