You know, it's this never ending cycle of, you know, well, you understand when you're older and when you're a kid, you're like, oh, whatever, shut up, old person.

You also have another witness who is in the balcony of their home nearby.
The witnesses seem to have conflicting opinions as to the age and appearance of the shooter.
One witness would say the shooter was white, another that they were Mexican, and another the shooter had a light complexion.
