Estan Wakonabo mentioned he and his girlfriend have been on the competition ready in line for a photograph sales space when he was shoved from behind and he turned to see a rush of individuals fleeing.
“Individuals have been hiding, have been pushing, individuals have been falling on the bottom, child strollers have been falling,” Wakonabo mentioned, including that was when he heard gunshots.
“As soon as I heard a ‘pop, pop, pop’, that’s after I knew it was a shooter,” he mentioned.
After he escorted his girlfriend to security, he returned to the scene to make images and noticed a number of victims on the bottom, Wakonabo mentioned.
The annual competition began in 1982 and attracts 350,000 attendees over “three days of meals, drink, and neighborhood celebration,” in keeping with its web site.
