Footage released on Thursday showed the moment police stormed a church in Nice where an attacker armed with a knife killed three people.
Mobile phone footage filmed near the scene shows police rushing into the Notre Dame Basilica during the attack, before gunshots are heard.
The assailant was wounded by police and hospitalized after the killings.
Later mobile phone footage shows a person being wheeled on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance, as the area is cordoned off by police and other emergency services.
France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office opened an investigation into the Nice killings, which marked the third attack in two months in France amid a growing furor in the Muslim world over caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that were re-published by the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.
The attack prompted the prime minister to announce that France was raising its security alert status to the highest level.
