CARSON CITY, Nev. — It was a terrifying sequence of events captured on surveillance cameras as a gunman sprayed the parking lot of a Carson City IHOP with a barrage of bullets before storming into the restaurant with an assault rifle, killing four people.

The video from the Sept. 6 assault that shook Nevada’s capital city was a snippet of a 4-minute presentation that was shown this week at a meeting of the Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Association in Las Vegas.

A camera at a casino across the street from the IHOP shows Eduardo Sencion running through the parking lot, firing bullets in rapid bursts. At one point, the 32-year-old shoots at a woman standing by a motorcycle at close range.

Authorities said the woman was saved by her helmet.

The video was first reported by the Nevada Appeal. The Associated Press obtained a copy Friday.

Crime scene photos included with the presentation detailed the horrors inside the restaurant, from a bullet hole in a glass partition to carpet stained with the victims’ blood. The presentation’s audio conveyed witnesses’ frantic calls to 911.

The video shows Sencion shuffling around cars in the parking lot as he repeatedly squeezes the trigger of his AK47, which had been illegally converted into a fully automatic weapon.
