“They were eating dinner when they heard what sounded like gunshots. At first, the family thought a stool had fallen. Then suddenly, a wave of people started running toward the back of the restaurant and into the kitchen. The family ran with them. Our source grabbed a younger family member, shielded her with their body, and ran into another room as people yelled that there was a shooting,” Turnbull Brockmeyer Law Group shared.

“They described it as a stampede, with diners running into the kitchen and back rooms trying to get away from the front of the restaurant. According to what the manager or GM reportedly told those hiding inside, someone apparently saw a person they didn’t like entering Ruth’s Chris and began shooting. Everyone remained hidden in the back, calling 911 and their families, until police arrived and secured the crime scene. They were not permitted to leave until police determined it was safe,” the firsthand account further noted.
