Jacob Gooch Sr., who was at the parade with his wife and children and was shot in the ankle, was interviewed onCBS MorningsThursday and spoke about his harrowing experience at what was supposed to be a celebratory event that devolved into chaos.
“I heard the altercation … a girl who said like, ‘Don’t do it, not here, this is stupid,’ or something like that,” Gooch told CBS’ Gayle King. “And then the gunshots, which at the time I thought were fireworks.”
