I saw police cars running on the streets - eyewitnesses

The Chinese Lunar New Year celebration is one of the largest Lunar New Year events in the region. Thousands of people gathered on Saturday in this festival which lasted for two days. A 27-year-old man named John told that I live near the shooting site. I reached home around 10 pm. I heard 4-5 gunshots. Then I saw police cars running on the streets. After this I went down at around 11:20 pm to see if the shooting took place at the Lunar New Year festival.
