“We got a body on the ground,” the caller continued to shout.

Another call provides more detail on how the scene played out after shooting.
“There’s someone behind the bar that’s been hit in the leg and there’s another on the ground,” the caller said. “I can’t tell what’s going on. They’re doing CPR on him.”
The caller explained there were two victims, a man and a woman. Police later said a 34-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman were shot.
“They’re trying to do CPR on him,” the caller repeated. “He’s not moving.”
The man, Alain Noel, later died at the hospital. Police said the woman who was shot was an employee.
Noel’s sister, who asked not to be identified, said her brother was a good man who worked at a local tax office.
‘’I’m praying and hoping there is justice for my brother,’’ the family member said.
Police said the shooter is a man but did not provide any other information on the gunman or what may have led up to the shooting.
