Terrance Sullivan lives near the building where the shooting occurred and said he was walking home from the gym around 8:30 a.m. when he saw police cars speed the wrong way down Main Street.Suddenly, he heard 10 to 15 shots fired and people screaming from within. "It was a lot of activity for like 20 seconds," Sullivan said."... The sound is what I keep thinking about. It was so loud. People in my building who were inside could hear it. Being outside on the street as it happened - I've heard gunshots before, but not that many like that."
