FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — One day after a brazen shooting inside a Family Health Center Clinic in Central Fresno, exclusive video obtained by Action News shows the horror unfolding in real time.<\/p>\n
Security footage from a nearby business shows three people running out of the clinic and into the parking lot.<\/p>\n
They are just one of the four dozen people police estimate were inside at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n
One of those witnesses, Maria Nava, said “I saw a lot of people with their kids, we were on the floor yelling, ‘Run! Run!, get down! There’s a shooter!.”<\/p>\n
Employees and patients rushed to get to safety, Nava says one of them helped her and her son find a way out.<\/p>\n
“There was a nurse in front of us, she opened the door for us and we were able to get out through the back,” Nava said.<\/p>\n
This terrifying moment is believed to be seconds after police say 69-year-old Bounlab Thammavong opened fire.<\/p>\n
Less than five minutes later, the first group of Fresno Police officers arrive on scene.<\/p>\n
The newly obtained video captured the moment they surrounding the door as witnesses gathered around, before eventually making their way inside.<\/p>\n
It was then that officers would find the victim, a female employee in her 30’s, suffering from several gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n
She was rushed to Community Regional Medical Center, where she remains in critical, but stable, condition.<\/p>\n
Fresno Police took Thammavong into custody at the scene and recovered the gun used inside the exam room where they say the shooting took place.<\/p>\n
Thammavong faces four felony charges with a bail set at more than $1.5 million.<\/p>\n
