Yeah, that's grisly all right!
The eyewitness yelled at the gunman after the shooting? That's not smart. Now the shooter probably knows where the lone eyewitness lives.
I'm still a little surprised that eyewitness was willing to go on the record and discuss at length how he followed the gunman onto the freeway!
The eyewitness is all over every TV station and in every newspaper! He seems to be loving his 15 minutes of fame. Hopefully he makes it the full 15 minutes...
