The bar’s owner, Gary DaCosta, told reporters at the scene that the shooting was captured on surveillance footage.
“What can you do? This is the world we’re living in,” he said. “I just hope that people start ... thinking with the end in mind. ‘If I do this (shoot), what’s going to happen? I either go to jail, or this person (could) die.’”
