Here is another account "I work there at Smoothie Paradise. My coworkers and I saw people running and yelling. My Mom was sitting across from me drinking a smoothie and told us to run and hide. One of the worst experiences ever. That was my biggest fear working at the mall and it happened. I hope everyone injured comes out alright. Kinda don't want to go back to work on Thursday"

Also an eyewitness said "Was there when this happened. My husband and I were getting pedicures I heard the commotion upstairs. Seen people looking I could tell something was wrong. The people at the eyebrow place starting running to the back right before the shot I hopped out of the pedi chair mid French tip. Had my 8 month old. We ran to the damn back rooms of the mall. Scary as hell. We heard when he died the cries from his friends. Suspect was caught I believe this was gang related. Someone said he was working or used to work at the mall. I believe this may have been an intentional set up but I don’t know for sure just according to the people who work at the mall."
