![]() We left and I didn’t think about it much more than that. I got up and stood outside for 15 minutes while my girlfriend got the check. I became sweaty, nauseous, and it was hard to breathe. We had gone out to our favorite place to eat one afternoon and I distinctly remember being halfway through my 2nd taco when I got this overwhelming fear and panic. We had already decided before this that we were going to move and that date was coming up. A few weeks go by and to be honest it was something we would talk about but it didn’t have an effect on us or make either of us “scared”. I believe 1 person died and 4/5 were injured. Technically because of the amount of people that were injured it was considered a mass shooting. The next morning we found some articles about what had happened. Our bodies still in shock to what had occurred. We got back to the car and just drove home in silence. Ha, well I found out real quick what a little bitch I am lol. At 6’3 230 I’ve never worried about confrontation. Now my pride and arrogance in the past when daydreaming about situations like this of “This is what I would do” was so completely different when put into that situation. ![]() Fortunately I wasn’t struck but my body had gone into a state of panic and shock. After we found a place in between a couple buildings I felt my chest expecting to feel the warmth of my own blood. The adrenaline had made me focus on getting us to a safe place. I thought I was hit but to scared to look down. In this moment my chest felt a pain I’ve never experienced before. Cars blowing through stop signs and red lights. There was screaming and people running in every direction. I actually threw her around a corner so hard her shoes came off. I grabbed my girlfriends hand and we started sprinting through a nearby alley. When I snapped out of the trance we went into full flight or flight mode. During the shots I wasn’t able to associate what was happening due to being really drunk and it took a good 10 seconds to understand what was going on. In total there we’re over 50 shots fired and 2 guns were recovered by police. We got about 15 feet past them when multiple gunshots went off. After a night of drinking (which I had not drank in about 6/7 years) my girlfriend and I left our friends and we’re making our way to our car when we walked pass a group of people that were arguing. About 8 months ago I was in my hometown and went to a concert followed by a bar. This might be long but I’ll start at the beginning.
