Trapped Mosul civilians recount harrowing tales of escape
IRBIL, Iraq - After days of shelling by Iraqi forces, about 200 residents decided to take their chances and flee from one of the last pockets of Mosul controlled by the Islamic State group.
They made it as far as a nearby hospital before militant snipers opened fire from the roof, mowing them down by the dozens.
