'Hollywood-style takedown'

Justin Cullen lives at the end of CobdenRoad and said while he didn't see or hear the shooting, he saw the entire police response from his front window.

"When Iwas texting my friends Isaid, 'There's a Hollywood-style takedown going on across the street in the mall,'" he said.

"We watch Brooklyn 99 or Cops or something like that and it was everything you see:loud, the yelling, lights at the ends of the guns, actually one of the cop cars had their beam trained on the restaurant."

Cullen said he moved to his current house in September from a different part of the city,and that it's been peaceful.

'They don't shoot other people'

One longtime residentof the community housing complex east of the shooting scene said there's a problem with drugs there, but that it doesn't affect residents.

"The point is that these people are shooting each other, they don't shoot other people or go attack somebody who doesn't have nothing to do with drugs or their problems," said Angel Vassilev.

"It's safe, Ican say that.If you stay quiet, if you don't deal with them, you're safe. Even though it's not a good neighbourhood, Idon't like it, but I can say [there's] no danger."

A motive for the shooting has not been determined, police said.

No arrests made, no suspects identified

Investigatorsinterviewedwitnesses at the scene and were checking to see if there was any surveillance footage, Duty Insp. SeanMcDade said Sunday night.

The case isbeing led by themajor crimes unit.

No arrests havebeen made and no suspectsidentified.

"You can imagine with a crime scene like this and the amount of witnesses, it will take quite some time to determine exactly what has happened and determine any suspect information," McDade said.

McDade said it's too early to tell if the shooting is gang-related. He also said he didn't know how many people were inside the restaurant at the time of the shooting.

"You can understand there was quite a bit of panic," saidMcDade.

This is the city's sixth shooting and second homicide of 2016.
