13 Action News spoke to an employee, who did not want to be identified, they described the shooting suspect as "friendly".
"I never thought he would do something like this," said the employee. "He [Valdez] talked to everybody and he looked friendly to me."
Customers and employees described running from the convenience store after police confirmed Valdez walked into the Terrible's and began shooting.
"We all ran in a bunch and when we got across the street and that's when we noticed he was bleeding," an employee told 13 Action News.
The employee said he helped a lube shop worker, who had been shot in the arm, get to safety. Both men ran to a nearby medical supplies store where workers were able to stop the victim's bleeding.
"I'm hoping the person we helped out is ok," the employee said.
