The gunman, the videos show, stops only occasionally to shoot at his pursuers before he is himself shot. The official MENA news agency quoted a top but anonymous security official as saying the gunman was one of two attackers. Most videos of Friday’s gunman circulating on social media were shot from windows in high-rise apartment towers overlooking the street on which the church is located. The voices heard on the videos hurled insults at the gunman and expressed amazement at his calm. “As soon as the gunman was shot and fell on the ground, they all started running toward him,” he said.
