A cafe where five people were killed by a squad of Islamic extremist gunmen terrorizing central Paris has reopened.

La Bonne Biere, a corner cafe in the trendy central Paris district targeted by the gunmen, opened for business again on Friday morning. Since the attacks, the shuttered cafe has been piled high with flowers, like the other sites of the November 13 attacks that left 130 people dead.

Paule Zlotnik, a neighboring shopkeeper, praised the decision: "It's time they open and that we continue life as it was before."

In surveillance video seen by The Associated Press, two gunmen in black calmly approached La Bonne Biere that night, firing deliberately on the outdoor tables before turning back toward a car that can be seen rolling slowly behind them.
