One of what police believe was about 20 shots fire broke the glass at JS Fashion Jewelry, going right through to the cash register area.

Owner Joon Suh said that is where he would have been standing but he and his customers ran to the back when they heard the first shots.

The gunfire erupted as Local 10 reporter Terrell Forney and videographer Nick Lupo were outside of the flea market broadcasting a live report about the arrest of two men suspected in a drive-by shooting that killed a 7-year-old girl.

“I’m waiting to wrap up the package before we go live again and all of a sudden I hear all of these shots,” Forney said. “I hear, 'Pop! Pop! Pop! ... and it feels like it never really stopped.”

Local 10 provided police with video Lupo recorded in hopes that it may help with the investigation into how Boyd was killed.
