British news website The Sun released surveillance footage Friday that appears to show patrons fleeing the Pulse nightclub moments before police officers engaged mass shooter Omar Mateen.

During the 30-second video, people are seen spilling out of the club, fleeing in all directions, before six police officers storm the building.

Many ran into a nearby parking lot belonging to the Pro Tint & Detailing auto shop, where the security camera appeared to be perched.

Another angle shows an Orlando police officer and three Orange County deputies in what appears to be a back alley.

The Sun obtained the video from Storyful, an online company that buys and licenses video.

Storyful has shopped around to media outlets 10 hours of surveillance footage and a digital map created to replicate the night of the shooting.

The company offered the package deal for $10,000.
