SANFORD, Fla. \u2013 Two people are expected to recover after a shooting outside a Sanford barbershop Saturday afternoon. Police said gunfire broke out near a busy shopping area off Orlando Drive, just steps from a Walmart.<\/p>\n
A woman who works nearby captured part of the chaos on video. She said she heard shots before seeing two young men struggling over a gun.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice are investigating a shooting in front of a barbershop that sent two people to the hospital Saturday afternoon,\u201d a reporter said. \u201cIt all unfolded right over here. I spoke with a woman who captured it on video.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have crazy people over here all the time \u2014 crazy people \u2014 but nothing as crazy as shootings,\u201d said Natonia Smith, who works nearby.<\/p>\n
Smith said she couldn\u2019t believe what she was watching and recording just doors down from her job, outside a barbershop near the Walmart off Orlando Drive.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything like that \u2014 up close and personal,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n
Smith said she called police as the men wrestled with the gun.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was sitting in the back, I heard \u2018pow,\u2019\u201d Smith said. \u201cThen it stopped for like three seconds, then I heard another \u2018pow.\u2019 Then it stopped for like a full minute because they were up here tussling.\u201d<\/p>\n
Video shows that shortly afterward, two men ran from the area. When officers arrived, police said they found one person with what appeared to be a gunshot wound. That person was taken to a hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening, police said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers clearly had everything under control by the time I showed up, but it does make you wonder \u2014 should I go pick up somewhere else?\u201d said Aubrie Cartas, a local shopper.<\/p>\n
Investigators said a second person later showed up at a different hospital, also with injuries not believed to be life-threatening. Police said the shooting appears to be an isolated incident involving people who know each other.<\/p>\n
