Loud police car sirens can be heard. Two scared people practically crawl out from a small shop. Two gunshots were heard inside, and then a person with a hood over his face rushes out of the store. He climbs into a car, pulling his hood down. A scar on his right cheek can be seen. He doesn't seem to be more than twenty-three or twenty-four years old. The young man quickly inserts the key and accelerates the car frenetically and tears off at a high speed.

Tens of seconds pass, and then a police car pulls up right in front of the store. Two police officers get out of the car and quickly signal to those who near the store to move out of the way. The police officers go inside using caution, and then separate, going up two different aisles, slowly approaching the counter. They meet, signal to one another that neither has seen anyone. They continue their approach to the counter, where they notice a man who has been shot in the chest. He does not move at all.

One of the officers approaches the man, checks his pulse, and makes another sign to show his partner that the man is still alive.
