 All I hear is run, run, run'

What they're saying:

Claire Pec Sapon, an employee at Juicy Box, said she was working in the back with her manager when about 20 people suddenly rushed into the kitchen.

 All I hear is run, run, run,  Sapon said.  I was scared, honestly. I was thinking about calling my loved ones, thinking what was the next step to do. 

Argument started over a dog

The backstory:

According to the Houston Police Department, the shooting started after an argument over a dog.

Investigators say a man and woman walked into the grocery store with a dog, but a security guard told them the dog was not allowed inside due to health concerns.

Police say an argument followed, and the man and security guard ended up exchanging gunfire.

Both were taken to the hospital in critical condition.

HPD says a nearby police officer heard the gunshots, chased down the suspect and took him into custody.
