I realised ‘Oh my God, this is a shootout.’ It felt like you were in a warzone almost,” she told NBC News.&nbsp;She also saw a man who had been injured in the shooting run out of the building. The man came to her and said, “Help, help, I’ve been shot.”&nbsp;Lewis further said that she and her partner helped the injured person until police arrived. “It was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced,” she added.&nbsp;Local TV channel footage shows people leaving the building with their hands up, hours after the shooting.&nbsp;Also Read -&nbsp; NY shooting: Shane Tamura was targeting NFL headquarters?
