According to Giliberto’s employee Ana Sanchez, employees use to working the overnight hours are familiar with the loud, late-night bar crew, but never encountered anything quite like this before. Sanchez told Dakota News Now, “It’s really scary for our coworkers, and for our customers, yeah it’s scary."

Other people who live and work in the area of the Minnesota Avenue Giliberto's location were as equally shocked by the Sunday morning shooting as Sanchez.

Rochelle Sullivan, a Subway employee who works across the street told Dakota News Now, “I’ve been here for maybe about 3 months, and I haven’t seen any bad things happen in this area."
