Suddenly, a man ran out and shouted at us, warning that there was some kind of an unstable person with a machine gun, and to run. We took all the children and hid. We called the police. When we came out, there were already people there, neighbors from this building and the neighboring building. I know this person; he's a well-known figure in our city."
