we were coming back to watch the rest of the parade. >> so after the, happened you walked towards the scene? >> me and my, family we gathered each other, to make sure everyone was accounted for. and people were running away, so we kind of gathered together to make sure that everyone was safe and accounted for. and then i made sure, my mom, my siblings got back to their car safely. and then me and my campaign manager went back to our car. it was truly chaotic, very scary. it was the last thing we expected, because going to the parade we were very excited, before the suv came onto the scene. it was very happy, celebratory, for the holidays. but that all changed when the vehicle came and struck into the crowd. >> i was told by another walker resident, the theme this year on the 105th anniversary of the city was comfort and joy.
