“The poor guys from Poland though, they came here and the first 24 hours they wanted to experience America and they went to a baseball game, they went to the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and they experienced a mass shooting. Welcome to America!”
The victim is from Poland and Saturday was his first day in the United States.
His American colleague, Chris Messina, said some of his coworkers came to Cleveland to train with his company so he took them out for drinks at Barley House Saturday night.“The poor guys from Poland though, they came here and the first 24 hours they wanted to experience America and they went to a baseball game, they went to the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and they experienced a mass shooting,” Messina said.
New surveillance video from West 6th Street shows the terrifying moment a man starts firing at a group of people around 2:30 Sunday morning. In the video, you can see the crowd running for cover. “We just started walking out and onto the sidewalk when you know we started hearing bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang like 20 bangs but the first couple I mean the first thought was hey that’s fireworks and after a while it was obviously not fireworks,” Messina said. “Everybody just kind of froze and scattered and all that. One of the guys from Poland was actually hit in the thigh so after all that stopped after 15 seconds.
Cleveland Police is asking anyone with information on the shooting to call 216-623-5318. Tips can also be made anonymously to Crimestoppers at 216-25-CRIME, with a reward of up to $5,000 available.
