Did you hear the police helicopter flying around telling everybody to leave? I know I did.
We got out of the Civic Center so fast, we were far away when things got bad. I don’t remember hearing a helicopter, but I was really focused on walking fast and looking out for thugs.
We had been walking for at least 10 minutes before we started to hear explosions in the distance in the direction of the civic center. We had no idea what was really going on until we turned on the car radio.
