Arizona Sen. Martín Quezada tweeted from his verified account, “I just witnessed an armed terrorist with an AR-15 shoot up Westgate. There are multiple victims.”

I saw 2 victims with my own eyes. Not sure how many others I saw the shooter. Being told not to say anything else about details 'til I speak to police. I'm ok. Lots of shaken up people.
