I didn’t know they are up to four or five

74
00:04:41,920 –> 00:04:45,439

Speaker 3: We had a gunshop. We think it may be the

00:04:57,879 –> 00:05:01,600
LEAs the bullets to scare people away. So when we

79
00:05:01,639 –> 00:05:04,879

81
00:05:08,079 –> 00:05:11,399
shot me. So I look at the back. The basking

82
00:05:11,839 –> 00:05:14,519
was not broken, so we weren’t thinking that it was

83
00:05:14,560 –> 00:05:16,800
scared because the children they were they were making it.

84
00:05:16,879 –> 00:05:18,800
