1/ According to eye witness Betsy W on @997wtn, her and her son (who lives in a different apt) were in the 3rd floor above where the RV was parked.
2/ Around 4:30 or so, they heard several bursts of automatic gunfire. She called the police... twice. Then sometime after 5am, they started hearing a female computerized voice broadcasting from the white RV: "This is a bomb, you must evacuate". This was repeated.
3/ Her son came to her apartment and said he was concerned about the RV across the street, and wanted to get outta there. Around 5:30am, the broadcast changed to:
"This bomb will detonate in 15 minutes"
"This bomb will detonate in 14 minutes"
"This bomb will detonate in 15 minutes"
"This bomb will detonate in 14 minutes"
4/ They called the police again and reported the threat.
They left by car across the 'bridge' to a 'park', and waited until around 6:15am or so, when they drove back towards the area since the deadline had passed and nothing happened.
