Witness describes chaotic scene

What they're saying:

FOX 4 talked to a witness who heard the gunshots.

"It was like three or four shots. It was pretty loud. I heard all the shots. It was like three or four shots. And it was more of people screaming and I just seen a lot of people just going everywhere because he was chasing them. People in the parking lot was trying to avoid the interaction and getting shot. So, yeah, it was crazy," he said.

Witness Sirrano Keith Baldeo told FOX 4 that he saw a man chasing a woman through the parking lot, firing multiple shots.

"She was running that way, and he was chasing her," Baldeo said. "He cornered her between two cars and then just started shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting."

Baldeo described the terrifying moments as chaos unfolded around him.

"Do you get out of your car and you run? Do you stay in your car and you duck?" he asked. "He was pushing the bullets. I mean, he was just pushing, pushing because he was really angry."

Baldeo said the shooting appeared to be personal.

"That’s what made it scary for me because I’m right here," he said. "Right now, just seeing this kind of hurts, but in about a day or two it’s going to bother me really badly."
