Peter Brown told CBS affiliate WJAX-TV that he was picking up groceries in the store when he heard shots. After the first shot was fired, Brown said, people began scrambling.

"We're less than 20,000 people, you know like everybody knows everybody and you never expect something like this in a small town," Brown said.
