Miraculously, none of the diners or staff inside the restaurant died during the attack, which lasted less than a minute, before the gunman is seen climbing into the terrorists’ black Seat getaway car.
A man who had just arrived outside the restaurant to collect a pizza was shot in the back and died in the street.
What is particularly horrifying is the calmness of one of the Islamic State gunmen seen in the film as he stalks the street looking for victims and quits trying to murder a woman cowering under a table outside after his assault rifle malfunctioned.
Two diners suffered minor bullet wounds but nearby another five people, including the man collecting his Pizza, perished in the gun attack. A further eight individuals in the vicinity were seriously injured.
The restaurant is located in Paris’s trendy 11th district, which is particularly popular with well-heeled middle class people who work in advertising and the media.
So sad and disturbing
survival instinct is real.
