Coquette employee shaken by shooting at her workplace

TO CHELSEA DONOVAN. SHE'S WITH

AN EMPLOYEE FROM KOCH AT

CHELSEA. TAKE A LOOK.

>> OKAY. SO SHE IS A FORMER

EMPLOYEE OF COQUETTE JUST

WALKING DOWN IN THIS YOU KNOW,

THE FIRST THING YOU SAID TO ME

IS YOU'RE JUST AND I MEAN,

>> TELL ME WHAT

YOU'VE LEARNED.

>> SO I I LEARNED THAT FROM

MY UNDERSTANDING SOMEONE THAT

THAT WAS WAS KILLED HERE AND

SOMEONE ELSE LIKE IS THE

SHOOTER SHOT HIMSELF. AT

COCAINE GUYS FEEL I CAN WRAP MY

MIND AROUND IT HAVE AN ECHO KID

OR AT NORTH HILLS FOR THAT

MATTER YOU KNOW, I I CALL

MYSELF BEING VERY INTENTIONAL.

THE PLACES THAT I CHOOSE TO

WORK FROM REMOTELY FOR SAFETY

AND OTHER THINGS, RIGHT?

SO IT'S IT'S IT'S JUST MIND.

WHAT DID YOU DO THERE?

>> IT LIKE THE BACK IN 2008.

THIS IS A RESTAURANT AT MANY

OF US HAVE BEEN TO ITS AMAZING

FRENCH FOOD. THE ATMOSPHERE

IS AWESOME. IT'S IN A GREAT

LOCATION. A SAFE LOCATION.

>> IS THIS JUST SEEMS

COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

YOU ARE SAFE. THEY'RE YOU

PROBABLY HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE

NOW FAMILY THERE. I MEAN, TO

KNOW THAT THIS HAPPENED IN A

PLACE YOU'RE USED TO WALK IN

EVERY DAY. TAKE PRIDE IN

GETTING THAT FOOD OUT. WHAT'S

GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND?

ARE WE SAFE ANYWHERE ANYMORE?

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE WORRY

ABOUT OUR CHILDREN ON A DAILY

BASIS. BUT THIS WAS THE LAST

THING THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD

HAVE TO THINK ABOUT TODAY.

>> YOU'RE FROM THIS IS THAT

WHAT SAINT

LOOKING AROUND AS WE HAVE FOR

THE PAST 3 HOURS.

>> THIS LOOKS NOTHING LIKE

NORTH HILLS NORMALLY DOESN'T

MEAN

THIS PLACE IS SHUT DOWN HERE.

CAUSE. I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOU

THINKING? AS YOU LOOK AROUND,

NOBODY CAN GET IN OR WHERE ARE

YOU HEADED? BY THE WAY? SO I

WAS WORKING FROM PANERA.

I YOU KNOW, I TEND TO COME IN

AND WORK IN DIFFERENT PLACES

OVER HERE. SO I WAS THRILLED TO

HAVE A CHARGING STATION OVER

THERE BY COCAINE TODAY. BUT

GOING BACK TO MY CAR, YOU KNOW,

IT'S JUST THERE'S NO, THERE'S

NO, NO, THERE'S ALWAYS THE

HUSTLING AND BUSTLING THIS.

PEOPLE HONKING THEIR HORNS

GOING ON THE STREET. IT'S SO

QUIET OVER HERE. IT IS

>> I DON'T KNOW. I I I'M

GRATEFUL FOR RESPONSE TIME FROM

WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM WATCHING

THE NEWS REPORTS. BUT JUST

IT'S JUST TRAGIC FOR YOU IN

ERROR WHEN THE SHOOTING

HAPPENED. I WASN'T. I KNEW YOU

WERE INSIDE. PANERA WALKED ME

THROUGH AS WHEN YOU STARTED

NOTICING SOMETHING IS NOT

RIGHT. SO I NOTICED A COUPLE

OF POLICE CARS KIND OF COMING

DOWN AND THEY STOPPED RIGHT

AROUND THIS INTERSECTION AND

THEN MY PHONE STARTED RINGING.

>> PARENTS, FRIENDS GOT TEXT

MESSAGES THAT READ LIKE, ARE

YOU OKAY? I'M LIKE, YEAH.

WHY? THEY'RE LIKE THERE'S AN

ACTIVE SHOOTER AT NORTH HILLS.

AND SO NO, THERE'S NOT.

>> BUT LONE BEHOLD AS SOON AS I

OPENED UP TO NEWS. YEAH, THERE

THERE WAS. AND THEN I SAW.

>> SOME ISSUE VIA MARK ISSUED

THESE AND AND THEIR SIDE AND

THAT KIND OF CONGREGATED THERE

AS WELL AND START TO SEE THE

ROAD CLOSING AND THEN REALLY

PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS

GOING ON. AND IT'S JUST, YOU

KNOW, I I MENTIONED TO THE

CASHIER AT PANERA LIKE INDIA.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING ON.

SHE'S LIKE, YEAH, WE WE

UNDERSTAND THAT'S GOING ON.

SO I DON'T WE WERE NOT UNDER

LOCKDOWN ON THE PANERA SIDE

FOR. WHAT ARE YOU STUCK THOUGH?

NOW? WHERE IS YOUR CAR? PARKED

MY CAR PARK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE TABLE FOR AN ARIA.

>> SO THAT'S WHAT KIND OF GOT

THE ATTENTION OF MY FRIENDS

CALLING IT LIKE WE SEE YOUR CAR

ON TV WHEN HE RAN FOR THE HILLS

AND LIKE EVERYTHING. BUT YOU

CAN'T GO ANYWHERE. I CAN'T GET

TO YOUR CAR. I WOULD IMAGINE

HAVING WORKED AT A RESTAURANT.

IT'S A FUN MEAL. IT'S A FAMILY

STYLE ATMOSPHERE, RIGHT?

EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYBODY.

HAVE YOU BEEN IN CONTACT WITH

ANY FOLKS THAT MAY STILL WORK

THERE? HAS ANYBODY REACHED OUT

TO YOU TO WHERE YOU'RE ABLE TO

SORT OF EXTRACT SOME

INFORMATION AS TO WHO THIS

MIGHT HAVE BEEN AND WHAT THE

MOTIVE WAS. NOT NOT THAT I'M

NOT THAT I HAVE HEARD AS OF

YET. I DO PLAN ON REACHING OUT

TO ONE OF THE FORMER SHES TO

SEE IF SHE KNOWS ANYTHING.

BUT YEAH, JUST AT A LOSS FOR

WORDS. WHEN THINK YOU SO MUCH.

WE APPRECIATE IT. SO THIS IS

SOMEONE THAT WORKED INSIDE OF

THAT RESTAURANT. THAT IS THE

CENTER A HOLD OF THIS

INVESTIGATION WHERE WE

UNDERSTAND A MAN CAME IN.

>> SHOT SOMEONE THEN TURNED THE

GUN ON HIMSELF. THAT PERSON IS

CRITICALLY INJURED. THEN WE

HAVE ANOTHER PERSON WITH

NON-LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES,

OBVIOUSLY SO MANY QUESTIONS

NOW AS TO WHO THAT VICTIM IS.

THE WITH THIS WOMAN HERE, SHE

CAN'T GET TO HER CAR BECAUSE AS

WE'VE MENTIONED, THIS IS A

PARKING LOT NOW AND THIS AREA

HAS BEEN ON LOCKDOWN FOR HOURS

THAT SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WERE

FREQUENTING THIS AREA WEATHER

FOR BEING A BUSINESS WORK

PLEASURE. LUNCHING SHOPPING.
