Yes. Reporter you never heard any screaming or warning a head of time. No, when the cops came up to him he must have just instantly started with no type of a scream or holler, he went down the line here and next door is the brooks pharmacy and around the corner we saw more bullet holes. Greg, go all the waste up there if you can. Viewers at home i want to show you if you think a bullet can damage a building, you can see it tears through the cars. There is a couple of hoods there that took a hit one after the another. Bullets went in the silver car and then car behind it, another hood, takes another bullet.
