Robert Gonzalez said he was walking by when he said gunfire began.

"Cops, undercover cops, shootout," said Gonzalez. "Guns everywhere, and there's just shooting going back and forth, and they told us to take cover. So we ran to the watermill thing and just took cover, and we went about 20 minutes of a good couple of rounds,"

"So, you heard gunfire going on for 20 minutes?" we asked Gonzalez.

"Yeah," Gonzalez replied. "We saw everything and we just ducked. They told us to duck, and they told us to hold on. Don't move. So we stood there. The cops start shooting. and then they told us to leave."
