“I thought it was the music, so I kept dancing,” a victim told CNN. “Then I heard another set of shots, and then me and a customer ran to the dressing room, got on the ground and locked the doors, and called the police immediately.”
Two firearms were discovered on the scene according to Colorado Springs Police Chief Adrian Vasquez.
