Another employee in the area says he heard the gunshot.
When he came outside, he says he saw the witness yelling while the shooter was on the phone with 911, saying, "You didn't have to do that. Why did you do that?"
While police are trying to piece together what happened out here today, people who work in the area say they're not entirely surprised. They say pretty much every day they see homeless people hanging out behind these businesses.
