据目击者表示，事发时，该住宅后院好像正在举办万圣节派对。

Lambert Alcendor, 21, has lived in the area for nearly four years.

21岁的Lambert Alcendor在这附近住了近四年。

He said that he was walking to a liquor store at 7th Street and Temple when he saw a white car swerving on 7th Street in front of the nail salon and heard 20 to 30 shots fired.

他说，当他走到第七街和坦普尔大道拐角的一家酒类商店时，看到一辆白色汽车在第七街的美甲店前转弯，然后就听到了20至30声的枪响。

“I definitely heard a lot of shots,” he said. “And that’s when I started running.”

“我肯定听到了很多次枪声，”他说，“然后我拔腿就跑。”

Alcendor said he ducked behind a car on 7th Street near Gladys Avenue, and when he looked back toward the area the car was gone. Although he didn’t see gunfire come from the car, he felt confident that that’s where the shots came from.

Alcendor说他躲在格拉迪斯大道附近第七街的一辆车后面，当他回头看时，车已经不见了。虽然他没有亲眼看到有枪手从车里射击，但他确信那就是枪声来源。

33岁的Oscar Cancio也恰好在附近的停车场。他说自己听到了9至11声枪响，起初还以为是哪儿在放烟花，直到听到直升机在头顶盘旋和警车的声音，才知道大事不妙。

He became worried about his neighbors, and headed in the direction of the sounds he heard. He found police tape lining the yard of a residence next to the nail salon near 7th and Temple. He witnessed three people who were completely still, unmoving as they were taken away from the building on stretchers.

他开始担心起他的邻居们来，朝声音传来的方向走去。他发现第七街和坦普尔大道附近美甲店旁边的一个住宅的院子被警察用胶带围了起来。他看见三个人被担架抬走时已经完全一动不动了。
