I was sitting at a table outside OK Bicycle Shop last night with a friend when I suddenly heard 3 shots fired and then saw about 20 people run hysterically towards us and past us in Dauphin Street. When i listened to the tape that someone in the bar/restaurant made, it seems like there were 5 shots, a slight pause, and then 4 more shots. we quickly went inside just as a precaution but there were no more shots.
