Another man told our partners that he had rushed into the shopping center.
“For somebody to just open fire in this parking lot 鈥� it’s wrong,” he said. “My friends work in that barbershop. I grew up with these guys. These guys are my friends, they keep me looking good, and I know they’re scared. I know they’re worried.”
