Terrifying video taken by photographer Patrick Zachmann shows police engaging in a gun fight with the terrorists outside the Bataclan theater in Paris Friday night (watch it above).
“I knew something was strange,” Zachmann told Time. “I immediately thought of a terrorist attack. I heard the shootings from a Kalashnikov. In the videos, you can actually see the sparks. It was panic. You felt that it was not under control, that they didn’t know what was going on, from where exactly (where the terrorists were) shooting.”
The video starts with explosions coming from near the concert hall, where attackers killed at least 89 people and wounded several others. The historic concert hall was sold out for a concert by the American band the Eagles of Death Metal. The terrorists stormed the theater at about 10:40 p.m., using guns and grenades against the crowd. Some of the attackers then detonated suicide vests.
