“I heard multiple shots… thought it was fireworks… I came out on the balcony… saw many people running… I figured out it was gunshots… after a few seconds I heard police cars coming,” said Vishal, who lives nearby.
“Probably 15 shots… first time in my life I heard shots… it was not pistols… it had 6 rounds… could be a gun or rifle,” he added.
