Wounded Paris cop pleading for his life is shot in the head

January 08, 2015 12:25

In a video that appeared in less than 30 minutes of the attack at the Charlie Hebdo office, a police officer pleaded for his life before being shot dead by the two masked gunmen.

The video shows officer Ahmed Merabet - believed to be a Muslim - lying wounded on the pavement and begging for mercy. The killers turn back, approach him and shoot him at point-blank range.

As they approach, the cop is seen raising his hand in an appeal for mercy, and asks: 'Do you want to kill me?' The gunman then answers: 'OK chief' before shooting him through the head with the assault rifle.
