They also said officers later saw a car with bullet holes in its rear window take off. Police reportedly followed that car until they learned no one was shot or hurt at the business or Panorama Tower, and stopped following the car.
People who live in units above Coffee Zone are now concerned.
"I thought I was living in a very safe building, very safe neighborhood, and people just came from outside and shot up our little cafeteria here, when is it going to stop," one resident told NBC6.
