he got the girl in the front. he says he shot her. he ducked down. he had his girlfriend s hand. he fell on the ground. he was dragging her out. he called me hysterical. i was on the way there. he said don t come there. it is a tragic scene. i lived here my whole life and never witnessed anything like it here. we are a very safe community. it is tragic. it s very tragic. your son told you, betty, he saw the young woman who worked there at the bar inside the front door being shot? inside the front door. just walked in and shot her. just awful. he heard the gunman continue to shoot after that? yes. evidently he jumped behind the
