“I hear what I thought was a gunshot. But I was thinking it came from the music, and then I heard it again, and everybody started running toward the front," she said. "And I was right in the front, I heard gunshots in the parking lot. It sounded like it was coming from everywhere, and I just ran. I cut up my arms, my legs.”
She said she was pushed and fell to the floor as everyone tried to escape.
“The worst experience I’ve ever had in my life," she said.
At this time, officials have not released any information about possible suspects or if anyone is in custody.
BSO’s Homicide Unit detectives were notified and are currently investigating.
