Terrifying moment armed cops fire volley of bullets at knife-wielding London Bridge terrorists as customers hide in shops
CHILLING video has captured the moment gunshots echoed at London Bridge last night as police gunned down terrorists as they went on a stabbing spree at Borough Market.
Anti-terror cops killed all three of the attackers within just eight minutes of the first 999 call at 10:08pm.
They swooped in after the jihadis, wearing fake suicide bomb vests, drove a van into crowds on London Bridge at 50mph and went on a stabbing spree before police shot them dead.
In the video shot from inside the Brindisa restaurant at the end of Borough Market, gunshots can be heard ringing out in the street as blue lights flash in the background.
The clip appears to have been shot from kitchen located from behind the bar in the tapas joint with staff seen ducking for cover.
Armed cops with machine guns were filmed through the window in the short film that was uploaded to Facebook.
In another clip, which appears to have been filmed from the end of London Bridge Street looking out onto Borough High Street, the police officers’ shouts can be heard before the sound of gunfire booms under the railway bridge.

Meanwhile, shocked witnesses can be heard saying: “Oh, there’s guns… oh god, they’re shooting someone.”
Seven people were killed and 48 more were injured as a result of the atrocity, which led Theresa May to declare ‘enough is enough’ earlier today.
Delivering a firm warning just hours after what is the third terrorists attack on UK soil in just three months, Mrs May said: “We believe we are experiencing a new trend in the threat we face as terrorism breeds terrorism.
“Perpetrators are inspired to act not only on the basis of carefully constructed plots after years of planning and training, and not even as lone attackers radicalised online, but by copying one another and often using the crudest of means of attack.
“It is time to say enough is enough. Everybody needs to go about their lives as they normally would. Our society should continue to function in accordance with our values.
“But when it comes to taking on extremism and terrorism, things need to change.”
