. . . Channel 13 spoke with the resident to get their story. Law enforcement has not confirmed the following details.
According to the resident, a man wearing a helmet had an AR-15 and other weapons when he entered the towers Friday afternoon.
This is when the resident tells us the man fired shots in the area of the front desk, shattering glass which is shown in pictures they have provided to us.
The resident says it was an employee of the towers who stopped the attack, and thinks they are a hero who deserves recognition for stepping in. . . .
It was a resident. Unprovoked, never had issues with anyone here,just went to his car, grabbed an AK and came back in and shot the front lobby up. Homberto, who works in receiving is a hero. He shot the armed man and saved so many lives. Nobody was injured other than the shooter.
