France 2 has posted exclusive video of the police raid Friday on a Parisian kosher market, which left the perpetrator dead and freed a number of hostages who had been held for hours.

The video, which lasts for less than two minutes, shows police amassing at the entrance to the market. As the door opens, a body appears to be lying on the ground just inside. One officer enters the store and gunfire erupts. A figure is seen moving inside the store. The video then pauses as somebody exits the store entrance amid gunfire.

Once the video begins again, officers are seen streaming into the store and hostages flee from the scene. Toward the end, officers are seen dragging people away from the storefront.

The suspect, who reportedly had a connection to the attackers who killed journalists and police at the Paris offices of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo earlier this week, was killed in the raid. As many as four hostages were also reportedly killed, though authorities have not confirmed the deaths.

Watch the video below, but be warned, it is graphic and disturbing:
