She walked to the window and “saw a guy running and just shooting,” Schar told The Associated Press in an interview. Kelsey Schar, 18, was staying on the fourth floor of Citizen Hotel when she said she heard gunshots and saw flashes in the dark. Shortly after the shooting, video was posted on Twitter that showed people running through the street amid the sound of rapid gunfire in the city of about 525,000 people located 75 miles (120 kilometers) from San Francisco. “We are currently working to determine what, if any, relation these events have to the shooting,” the department said in the statement. Investigators were reviewing videos from social media that appeared to show an altercation before the deadly incident, the police statement said. Asked if authorities were searching for one or more than one suspects, Lester told reporters that she did not know. “We’re asking for the public’s help in helping us to identify the suspects in this,” Lester said.
