“The second time, I was like ‘Something’s not right,’” she said.

She said that after she felt the thuds, she looked to her left and saw a man — who had been using a treadmill — lying on the ground covered in blood.

The shooter was a man who uses a wheelchair who she had seen in the building before, she said.

“I just moved here,” she said. “I’m still thinking this is a safe area, but the fact that it happened right behind me … what if that were me?”
