>> A LOT OF EMOTIONAL STORIES TAKING PLACE INSIDE THAT BAR.
A LOT OF WITNESSES WHO SAW
THINGS THEY’LL NEVER FORGET.
HOLDEN HAIRA IS WITH US.
HOW ARE YOU.
>> I’M HANGING IN THERE.
VERY TRAUMATIZED WITH WHAT JUST
HAPPENED BUT HANGING IN THERE.
>> HOLDEN, TELL US WHERE YOU
WERE.
WERE. >> I WAS LOCATED -- THERE’S A
SIDE LIKE EXIT.
THERE’S A SIDE STAGE WHERE I CAN
TECHNICALLY GO ONLY STAGE IF I
WANTED TO, BUT WHERE I WAS
LOOKING AT THE TIME, I WAS
LOOKING DIRECTLY AT THE FRONT
ENTRANCE, AND I SAW THE SUSPECT
COME IN, PULL OUT HIS GUN, AND
START SHOOTING.
START SHOOTING. IMMEDIATELY.
IMMEDIATELY. I WAS JUST BLOWN AWAY, WHAT I
SAW WITH MY OWN TWO EYES.
>> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE
SUSPECT?
SUSPECT? NOT JUST HOW HE LOOKED BUT WHAT
WAS HIS DEMEANOR?
CAN YOU DESCRIBE THAT?
>> HE DIDN’T EVEN SAY ANYTHING.
HE WALKED IN.
DIDN’T SAY ONE WORD.
JUST PULLED OUT A GUN AND
STARTED SHOOTING.
STARTED SHOOTING. >> AND WHAT -- DESCRIBE WHAT HE
LOOKED LIKE.
LOOKED LIKE. WHAT YOU THOUGHT HIS DEMEANOR
WAS LIKE.
WAS LIKE. >> HE HAD, LIKE A QUICK
DISGUISE.
DISGUISE. HE HAS A BLACK OUTFIT, A BLACK
HAT, GLASSES, A BLACK SHIRT OR
JACKET, BUT YEAH.
LOOKED LIKE HE WAS OVER 30, I
WOULD SAY.
WOULD SAY. FROM A QUICK GLANCE OF WHAT I
SAW WITH THE TIME OF WHAT
HAPPENED, I GOT THAT MUCH OF A
VISUAL ON HIM.
>> HOLDEN --
>> I ALSO SAW THE HANDGUN.
>> WHAT DID YOU DO, HOLDEN?
I MEAN, YOU SEE THE GUNMAN.
YOU HEAR THE SHOTS.
WERE YOU ABLE TO RUN?
DID YOU HIDE?
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPPENED? >> SO RIGHT WHEN I SAW
EVERYTHING HAPPEN, I MEAN, RIGHT
WHEN I SAW THE ACTUAL FLASH FROM
THE GUN, I IMMEDIATELY STOOD
THERE IN SHOCK LIKE WIDE OPEN MY
MOUTH, AND I DROPPED DOWN TO THE
FLOOR JUST TO GET COVER, MAKE
SURE I WAS SAFE.
AND THEN I STARTED CRAWLING ON
THE FLOOR JUST TO GET ACCESS TO
THE SIDE DOOR WHERE I WAS AT.
AND THEN ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET
UP, STARTED RUNNING, AND THEN I
STARTED HEARING MORE SUN SHOTS.
I -- GUNSHOTS.
I STARTED RUNNING AS FAST AS I
COULD.
COULD. THEN I FINALLY GOT ACCESS TO MY
CAR.
CAR. I ACTUALLY STARTED HYPER
VENTILATING.
VENTILATING. I WAS FREAKING OUT.
MY HANDS STARTED CURLING IN.
I WAS BREATHING HEAVY.
I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
AND THEN ONCE I STARTED DRIVING,
THERE WAS A GAS STATION THAT’S
KIND OF CLOSE WHERE I’M AT, AND
THEN I SAW PEOPLE IN THE STREET.
I WAS LIKE GET IN MY CAR.
I WAS LIKE NO ONE SHOULD BE
WALKING ON THE ROAD RIGHT NOW.
AND THEN A GIRL THAT GOT INTO MY
CAR HAD A BROKEN ARM.
I ENDED UP DRIVING HER TO THE
HOSPITAL, AND THEN DROPPED THEM
OFF THERE.
OFF THERE. THEN I IMMEDIATELY WENT HOME TO
MY FAMILY.
MY FAMILY. I GOT INTO A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
>> HOLDEN, WERE YOU THERE WITH
FRIENDS AND HAVE YOU HEARD FROM
THEM?
THEM? >> YES, I WAS WITH FRIENDS.
I MEAN, I’M A LOCAL.
I’VE BEEN COMING HERE FOR SIX
MONTHS NOW, I COULD SAY, AND MET
A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH COMING
HERE, AND ONE THING I DO LIKE
ABOUT COMING HERE IS THAT I
ALWAYS RUN INTO PEOPLE I HAVEN’T
SEEN SIN HIGH SCHOOL AND JUST
EVEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR
CRYING OUT LOUD.
IT’S ALWAYS COOL JUST PLAYING
CATCHUP WITH MY FRIENDS HERE.
YEAH, I DID -- I DID KNOW SOME
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. AND UNFORTUNATELY THE FIRST TWO
GUNSHOTS THAT I SAW, I KNEW THE
GIRL THAT WAS RUNNING THE CASH
REGISTER.
REGISTER. WE WEREN’T, LIKE GOOD FRIENDS,
BUT JUST SOMEONE THAT I JUST MET
FROM GOING TO BOTHERLINE.
WE JUST ALWAYS HAD SMALL TALK.
HEY, GOOD TO SEE YOU, HOW IS
EVERYTHING?
EVERYTHING? CATCHING UP, BASICALLY.
SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO GET
SHOT TONIGHT.
SHOT TONIGHT. >> WOW.
>> WOW. >> WOW.
>> WOW. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. I’M HAPPY TO BE ON MY TWO FEET.
>> WE’RE HAPPY TO SEE YOU, AND
KNOW YOU’RE OKAY, AND OUR
THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU.
>> APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
