I hear ‘pop, pop, pop.'” Then, half a second later, I heard someone screaming, sort of. I said, ‘Wow, this is a trip.’ And then I got out of the car, looked around, and saw someone on the ground. “Everyone is surrounding him and calling the cops,” said Michelle Etier, who witnessed the shooting.
The public streets around the store are open to through traffic. However, police have restricted access to a portion of the Safeway parking lot while the investigation continues.
This is a developing story.
