“We just heard two loud booms and like maybe 7 to 8 gunshots. And we all got down because God forbid, you know, a bullet might’ve hit the window,” said a man who works at TKB Barbers.
He told KIRO 7 his first instinct was to get their clients out of harm’s way.
“Everyone started ducking, everybody started getting to the back getting to safety,” he said.
