German Gunman's Assault Caught on Camera

(AFP-France 24) The camera worn by the German shooter in Halle records how he is discouraged when he sees the massive wooden synagogue doors bolted shut. When he fails to force open smaller entrances, he lights the fuse of a home-made bomb and hurls it over the wall. After the door resists another bomb, a 50-something woman in a pink shirt and glasses walks by. The shooter fires a short burst into her back. After pitching more bombs and a firebomb over the wall, he fires another, longer burst into the lifeless body of the woman. When a man stops his van to check on the dead woman, the shooter attempts to fire a new burst but the gun only clicks. Attempts to blast the lock off the synagogue door with a shotgun are equally unsuccessful. A few streets away, the gunman spots a kebab shop. He tosses one of the bombs inside, firing a final burst with the automatic before it jams. Then he executes one of the men at point-blank range with two shotgun blasts. In an exchange of fire with police, he is struck by a bullet in the neck as he attempts to drive off.
