"One of my customers, she asked for hot dog. I was in process to charge her card when we just heard heavy shooting with the automatic weapons, something maybe over 150 bullets," he said. "We got scared, but we just saw my customer. She was bleeding. She got shot on her leg, right leg. We went on the ground and we tried to hide from the shooting, and after that, we tried to stop the bleeding from her leg and then police arrived and everything got clear."

The woman was reportedly shot in the leg, and she is expected to recover, authorities said.
