One eye witness in the nightclub described her personal horror when she detailed her experience inside the Cameo nightclub to local news outlet WCPO.
"All I could think about was, 'Is a bullet going to fly past me? Am I going to get hit and drop?’" the woman who was identified only as Sherell said. "I thought I was going to die. At that point, survival skill started kicking in. "Once I heard the third shot -- I didn't know whether it was coming from outside, someone was shooting at the club, or whether it was coming from inside. I immediately dived to the ground to the side, and my boyfriend dived on top of me."
