French Police Hunt 9th Attacker as Video Surveillance Shows 2 Gunmen

French authorities were scrambling Tuesday to find eighth and ninth suspects involved in the deadly terror plot in Paris — as new surveillance footage revealed two gunmen who fired into a bar at one of the attack sites, NBC news reported.

Officials had not previously specified how many people were involved in the slaughter at a sidewalk bar on Rue de la Fontaine. Five people were killed and eight were seriously wounded; witnesses report that the shooters were in a black vehicle.

Surveillance video of the shooting obtained by The Associated Press shows a team of three attackers: two black-clad gunmen calmly firing on the bar, then returning slowly toward a waiting car, whose driver was maneuvering behind them.

Three French officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the investigation, confirmed that an analysis of the series of attacks on Friday indicated that one additional person directly involved in the assault remains unaccounted for.
 

That's in addition to another known accomplice — Salah Abdeslam, 26, who remains the subject of a global manhunt.
