                "Someone fired a shot at them and both soldiers and officers returned fire, the chief said. It was unclear if the person killed is the one who fired at the law enforcers. Several “persons of interest” were being interviewed, he said."

            "Kris Smith said he was at a barbecue restaurant when the soldiers arrived in military vehicles. “We were just outside having a good time, having drinks, eating barbecue," he said. When the soldiers arrived, he started walking to his car."

          “As soon as I walk to my car they jump out with the sticks, the police jump out with their sticks and their shields and stuff on," Smith said. “It looked like something out of a movie. It looked like a freaking war zone. ... I knew there was going to be some trouble.”

      “It was like a delayed reaction, like they were looking to try and see where it was coming from, if it was a gunshot, if it was a firework, or whatever," Smith said. “Then all of a sudden they just started shooting.”

    Smith, who is black, said the group had nothing to do with the protests. “This is really what it comes to?" he said “We’re just having drinks, chilling and the National Guard pulls up with machine guns?…”

      "… I never thought I could just be sitting somewhere having a drink, minding my own business, and the army pull up with machine guns and jump out. Never thought I would experience that here in America.”
