One Witness Shared Facebook Live Video
Watch the live video here from Daniel Camacho.
Camacho said on the video he saw two people being taken out. It was unclear if they were injured. Those in the mall were apparently being asked by police to stay in an area cordoned off by police tape near a parking entrance.
He said on the video he was in the mall with his wife and two children, ages 2 and 10. He ran out holding the toddler with his 10-year-old son running alongside him.
“My 10 year old, he was next to me. He was scared,” he said.
He said it was difficult to hear where the sound of gunfire was coming from. His wife didn’t immediately process the noise, he said. Everyone started running. His first instinct was to run toward the police station, which is nearby, he said.
Camacho said they were at the mall to watch Spider-Man. The family arrived for the movie around the time of the shooting.
“I was a little bit late to the movie, which was actually a good thing because,” he paused and trailed off, then added, “Shoot.”
His son seemed skittish on the video as he and his dad made their way to the car in the parking garage.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” the boy said repeatedly.
“We’re gonna get caught and shot,” the boy added.
His dad comforted him, saying they were safe now.
