I spoke to many witnesses who saw and heard the incident go down& and all of them said it was extremely tense.

Delda harrison is the assistant manager at the recreation station gas station on highway 101.

As soon as the subjects pulled into their parking lot, she says police told her and staff to lock themselves into the building in case shots were fired.

She says they negotiated with the people involved for hours& until they eventually heard gunshots go off.

We locked ourselves inside away from the glass and we kinda did our own thing.

They were out here for a long time.

I sure i was in there for four hours before they let us out finally?

14 seconds as we told you earlier?this all started around 5:40 p-m when deputies pulled over a car in the area of highway 101 and winchester ave.
