People nearby said while they didn’t see the shooter, they heard one or two gunshots, which caused several people to run.

Workers at West Marine next door said they haven’t seen shootings in the area before, but said that law enforcement is in the area frequently.

“There's a lot that goes on in this area. So I was definitely concerned, about, you know, what do they have to lose? They've already fired once; they might even do it again,” said Sam Furukawa, an employee at West Marine.
