On Tuesday afternoon, as Mona Cummings left a Subway restaurant on Capital Boulevard that was hit by the gunman, we showed her the latest video.
"He is obviously a lunatic. But he wasn't even too prepared. He didn't even have a bag to put it in," Cummings said, and she added, "I mean, but yeah, that's just crazy."

Cummings and other customers say even though no one has been hurt so far doesn't mean they won't be.
"No one's hurt now, but you don't know what's going to happen later on down the line. If he keeps doing or they keep doing what they're doing, eventually somebody's going to get hurt," Cummings said.
Customer Valerie Pastore told ABC 11, "He has a gun in his hand. So any time that somebody has a gun in their hand, there's the potential to get hurt."
Another customer, Xenia Williams, had a similar sentiment, "He had a gun. Just one wrong move, somebody's life could be changed."
Police say the robber has an accomplice who drives the getaway car, and they haven't ruled out that the two could be swapping roles at times.
