Things are a little clearer in the second video. As soon as the train stopped, the assailant opened fire on the train passengers. Although the attacker could not be identified clearly in the video, the people who were shot can be seen lying on the ground and fellow passengers trying to help. The video shows the platform filled with smoke at the time of the incident. Investigators say the attacker himself might have created the smoke using a smoke canister.
