PARIS (Reuters) -"They were shooting us down like animals. As soon as a mobile phone rang, as soon as someone screamed, they fired," Cedric Bouhour, 43, a survivor of the 2015 attack on the Bataclan concert hall, testified in a Paris court on Wednesday.

Six years after Islamist gunmen killed 130 people - 90 of them in the Bataclan - and wounded hundreds in coordinated attacks in Paris, survivors from the concert hall told the court of the fear they experienced, the deaths and injuries they lived through, and their lingering trauma.
