“It sounded like it was coming from everywhere at once — like someone set off a machine,” she told reporters. “For a moment we thought it was fireworks… then we saw adults dropping to the ground, kids screaming, and parents trying to shield them. It was terrifying.”

Another witness recounted the chaos from inside the home:

“We had just arrived, and I was holding my niece when the shots started. At first nobody knew what it was. We thought maybe someone was celebrating too hard. But then the looks on people’s faces… we realized this was something very wrong. Everybody just dropped where they were and tried to get to safety.”
