We’ve never experienced this type of incident in the past,” said Dorian Santiago who was an eye-witness to the shooting. “We aren’t used to this type of crime in this area. We heard five gunshots and then people started running like crazy. There was a young girl who went crazy after she was injured. I saw another one on the ground as they were performing CPR on her but it looked like she was already dead.”
