— -- Recently released images from surveillance footage shows the terrifying minutes an ISIS-inspired gunman held several people hostage inside a French kosher supermarket before police shot him dead.

The images, obtained by ABC News, show the armed gunman in the store and hostages crowding together. Cameras also captured dead bodies – the gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, killed four people early in the assault.

In a video of Coulibaly released after his death, he claims to be a member of ISIS and “synchronized” his attack with the two brothers who killed 12 people in an attack two days before on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
