so i originally was walking away as the music was winding down and i turned around for a quick moment and i hear the gunshot sounds. at first i thought it was fireworks. a man behind me screamed those are real, those are real. i just froze like a deer in the headlights and all of a sudden blindsidedly, this piece of unknown shrapnel came towards me and struck me in the forehead. luckily it wasn t anything serious, just left a bruise behind, but right after that, i just started running. i was looking behind to make sure that, you know, my family was with me and i saw people jumping over the fence, people trampling over each other. it was just widespread chaos. and it was just unbelievable having to, you know, experience a traumatic experience like this. wow. i can understand. as you ran, did the gunman continue to shoot?
