“He was a familiar face…in a small town like here, everyone knows everyone […]. Then I thought I had probably already talked to him,” she told CNN News.

His father, Joseph Walker, was among Robert Card’s victims.

“I worked at Schemengees restaurant and bar for several years and my father always told me that if something happened, I had to defend myself,” said Bethany Walker.
Mr Walker was the manager of the Schemengees restaurant and bar. He allegedly tried to charge the shooter with a kitchen knife, but was shot twice in the stomach.
