Mims spoke to a man off-camera who said he worked with both Lampley and Miller and doesn’t know what caused Lampley to start shooting.
Kristy Owens, a witness, said she heard multiple shots and made the 911 call. She saw paramedics performing CPR on Miller, who was lying on the sidewalk. Owens said Lampley ran out of the restaurant wearing no clothes.
“When he came out of the restaurant, into the parking lot, he had no shirt on and his pants down to his ankles with no underwear on,” Owens said.
Police took Lampley into custody.
