Everyone should stay in their homes in this area, do not go outside. Nearby resident Beau Schultz said they were just getting out of the shower when they saw police officers outside their house.

“It started out very simply with just the two cops that I saw,” Schultz, who goes by they/them pronouns, told Global News.

“What I saw next was two people leaving the bank and they were armed and they also, I don’t really know how to describe how they were dressed, but you could tell they were trying to conceal who they were.”

They said that’s when shots started being fired and they saw one of the two people who exited the bank get shot.

“Time is honestly a blur,” Schultz said, adding they saw smoke, people getting hit and dozens and dozens of gunshots.
