One man attending a party on a floor above where this shooting said there was chaos after the gunfire.

"I was just a level up.  I heard the shots.  We didn`t think nothing of it until people started running around. People were just running around the hallways. Panicking. Scared. It`s a scary situation because if you were in a room -- it`s a small room -- you don`t know if you are going to walk out in one piece or be hurt," Derrick Triggs said.
