Elevator Company was clearly visible in the video

The glass covering the large Passenger Elevator that had been outside was shattered by three bullets, and Mohmadi said the metal back of the menu display saved the lives of two customers who hid behind it.At an un-cleared corner table, just beside where one bullet ripped a hole in the plaster at head level, a slice of uneaten pizza sat on a plate, left by a fleeing customer.

Mohmadi was not there when two gunmen jumped out of a car and began spraying both sides of the street with bullets Friday night, but he spoke on Saturday just after viewing his restaurant’s security video of the attack with police.

He described a tall, thin, young man, with his face uncovered calmly firing into his restaurant, creating a din like fireworks. “It’s shocking to see the video,” he said. “I saw the guy with the Kalashnikov, machine-gunning people, they were falling to the ground everywhere. It was unbelievable.” At one point the gunman returned as if he was going to execute two women lying on the restaurant terrace but he left without firing again.

Elevator Company was clearly visible in the video. Police told him they did not know whether he was among the dead attackers. Mohmadi immigrated from Algeria 20 years ago, where he said he had been beaten and shot at by terrorists, but nothing he experienced in his native country compared to Friday’s attacks.
