According to authorities, The Tilted Turtle bar had a scheduled event with numerous performers and a "packed house."
"There was just people running around, trying to find somewhere to go - just fearing for their life. Even when the cops showed up, people were still running trying to get away," said Shannon Laney, a neighbor in the area. "They didn’t know where the shooter was or anything like that.”
“They were shooting everywhere and you couldn’t tell where they were coming from or where they were going, so I just didn’t take any chances,” said Ray McColley, another neighbor in the area.
