It was about 1:40am when i heard about 12 repeated gunshots. I turned my radio volume down and then heard about 8 more, seemed to have different sound, as if from a different firearm, returning fire. I drove down the block to the location and found the man laying on the street in front of Sam’s sports bar with police performing CPR. The life saving attempt lasted about 15 minutes, which then i had assumed it was unsuccessful. Then fire trucks arrived, followed by ambulance.
