“Holy fuck, this girl just got shot in the fucking head,” Bilzerian said on his Instagram story. Bilzerian later indicated that he was returning to the scene with a firearm. “So fucking crazy … So I had to go grab a gun, I’m fucking heading back … Some kind of mass shooting … Guy had a heavy caliber weapon for sure … Saw a girl fucking get shot in the face right next to me, her brains fucking hanging out.”
