Posted

Dramatic surveillance footage from a restaurant in Paris shows the moment when a shooter opened fire last Friday as part of a series of coordinated terror attacks.

The footage, taken from one of the four restaurants that were targeted and first reported by the Daily Mail, shows a man who appears to be holding an assault rifle.

Watch the video in the player below.It is unclear which restaurant the video shows, nor is it clear if anyone died at this location.

In addition to the restaurants, two bars, a soccer stadium and a concert hall were targeted, leaving 129 people dead.

The restaurant goes from being seemingly calm to a scene of terror, with diners diving for cover and the employees ducking behind the bar, the video shows.

Three different vantage points can be seen in the footage. In one, the shooter can be seen walking past the restaurant on the sidewalk with his gun in full view.

Two diners sitting next to the window by the restaurant's entrance are seen quickly ducking to the ground while two others stand up and run inside before diving to the ground.

The footage also shows the gunman making a trip to a table outside where two patrons are hiding, directing his weapon towards them for several seconds before walking off and disappearing from the screen.

It was unclear if he fired.

A different vantage point shows two of the people who had hidden behind the bar running down a set of stairs several feet away.
