Back at the restaurant, police taped off the area, while detectives interviewed workers and the few patrons who had stuck around. As the detectives investigated the scene, they did notice a few droplets of blood leading out of the building. The droplets were pretty consistent, and it wasn’t clear if they were from a bullet or flying glass.

The detectives continued questioning the manager and the counter clerks regarding the shooting, but most of them were unable to help since they had all dropped to the floor once the bullets started flying. As far as the patrons that stuck around, most of them were too afraid to get involved in the case since Viper was the obvious target in the shooting. So far none of them had even mentioned his name, and their descriptions of the face of the shooter were vague too. Since Detectives Daniels and Young had been working the homicide at the store, they drove over to the restaurant to see if this shooting was in some way related to their case.

“What happened here?” Detective Young asked the responding officers.

“We’re still piecing it together,” one of the officers replied. “When the shooting started, people scattered, but we still have the manager and all the employees inside.”

Detective Daniels pulled out his notepad and asked, “Did anyone get hit?”

“If they did, they didn’t stick around. We have officers checking area hospitals and clinics for anyone coming in with an injury consistent with a gunshot.”

The detectives continued to inspect the bullet-ridden restaurant. Detective Young asked, “Does anyone know what prompted the shooting or who the target was?”

“The manager doesn’t know. He said the restaurant was full when the shooting started and it’s a miracle no one was killed. He also said a guy from the neighborhood they call Viper was in the restaurant before the shooting started,” the officer said.

“Viper?” Detective Daniels asked. “That’s a familiar name. What about the shooter? Could anyone identify him?”

“Not that we’ve been able to find. Witnesses said someone tackled the shooter, making him drop the gun, but whoever it was didn’t stick around, either,” the officer said.

“Maybe they had a good reason not to stick around,” Detective Young answered. “If the restaurant has surveillance cameras, I want to see them. It could mean getting a dangerous person off the street and possibly even a killer.”
