Something else I'm a bit bewildered about is that hundreds were there. This establishment isn't very large and the parking lot is small. plus, a northeastern was blowing through so there was plenty of rain and wind. Where were these people?

I was also wondering about this. That is a lot of people for that time of night in a small bar.

What I had read is that they were outside.

Willie Turral, the owner of Willie's Bar and Grill, told ABC affiliate station WJCL in Savannah that "mayhem" broke out at the bar after gunfire erupted outside his establishment.

"I'm not sure of everything that took place in terms of what exactly happened. The shooting occurred, but it occurred outside and I was inside," Turral told WJCL.

Around a hundred people there and there isn't even a description of the vehicle?

Maybe their attention was focused elsewhere (into having a good time) and their eyes weren't acting like a Ring Camera? IOW - enjoying life and not focused on recording bad things that might happen to them.

The bar’s owner said he closed the bar back in December because he wanted to make renovations and upgrades to prevent incidents like this from happening.

People were back at Willie’s Bar and Grill Sunday morning, cleaning up the aftermath of a shooting that has killed four people and injured 20.
