Customer Kima Golden exclusively told The Sun that she had mistaken the gunshots for “balloons.”

She said: “It wasn’t until I saw the people around the target hit the ground that I followed suit.

“I also thought the shooting was outside and not inside. Who shoots someone inside of a restaurant?”

Kima said she’s been to restaurants in the area before and always “felt safe.”

She continued: “I would hate for fear to ruin the reputation of the restaurant and others in the area due to one individual’s selfish acts.”
