"So I was walking my dad, my dad has Alzheimer’s, it was about 10 o'clock in the morning and I heard about seven or eight shots, or maybe 10 shots," he said.
Lapalme said he saw others in the park duck for cover.
"They just hit the deck. You know, they were worried, shots fired," he said.

Luke Pawlowski lives nearby.
“I heard about, at least 10 to 20 gunshots," he said. "They happened so fast, we thought it might have been fireworks."
Pawlowski said he's being "a little bit more cautious. I didn’t want to take my dog out for a few hours."
NBC 6 is working to learn more about the circumstances of the gunfire and a potential suspect.
"It's kind of surprising at 10 o'clock in the morning to have a shooting, but this day and age now, I guess that’s what we’re living with," Lapalme said.
Authorities told the public to expect delays in the area due to the active investigation.
Miramar Police is asking anyone with information on this shooting to contact their Detective Bureau at 954-602-4000.
