“There were about three or four shots,” said George Sardias, who works at a Boost Mobile across the street from the shooting scene.
“But lately things have gotten worse,” he told Channel 9's Jonathan Rowe. “There were two shootings in the same location in one week.”
MEDIC transported one person to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
“At the end of the day, we are fathers,” Sardias said. “We're mothers. We have families at home. We just want to go home.”
