Notably, some 800 law enforcement officers were at the parade where almost 1 million fans were expected to join the celebrations. Video footage of the incident near Union Station showed people chaotically attempting to avoid being caught in the crosshairs of the gunmen.
“The security guard was like, ‘Get over the damn fence right now, there’s a shooter.’ When I was hopping over the barricade, my foot hit [it] and my face nailed the concrete,” Gabe Wallace one of the witnesses was quoted as saying by The Guardian.
