Journalist Julien Pearce gave the following horrific account of the attack to the french publication Le Monde:
"It lasted at least 10 or 15 minutes. They reloaded; they had all the time they needed. They reloaded three or four times, and it lasted at least 10 minutes. They were shooting down with the back of the gun on their shoulder. At some point we took refuge behind the scene, and we were blocked. When the gunshots stopped, we took advantage of the temporary calm to leave through the emergency exit. There we saw a lot of people in the street who were covered in blood, who had gunshot wounds."
Today, the world mourns with France.
