00:00At that moment, I opened the car door, about to get in and leave, when suddenly I heard

00:10a sound, gunshots.

00:13At first, I thought it was firecrackers, then I glanced over and saw a man in black shirt

00:18and a cab, firing a gun.

00:20He fired so many shots in rapid succession, so we ducked down in the car and quickly called

00:26the police.

00:33We're worried because we've never thought something like this would happen to us.

00:37It's very close.

00:38Also, we don't know what would have happened if we hadn't got into the car yet and were

00:43still in that area.

00:44We might have been hit too, we just don't know.

00:47We feel very sorry for those who lost their lives.
