Stephen Moorer was working at the Golden Bough Playhouse in Carmel, when the suspect, 27-year-old, James Marshall, walked by carrying a rifle.

Stephen Moorer was working at the Golden Bough Playhouse in Carmel when the suspect, 27-year-old James Marshall, walked by carrying a rifle.

"He had an AR in one hand and a crowbar in the other, and he was kicking over these barriers that had been put up at the corners, and he was walking from Eighth Street, the corner, down Monteverdi," Moorer explained. "We were kind of up against the building under the eaves of the back where the Circle Theater is, and when he came up the driveway, we all just kind of stopped and tried to be, you know, non-threatening and just stood there, kind of backed away safely, and that's when he said, 'No filming,' and we just kind of nodded and said, 'Yes. Absolutely. Yes, sir.'"

Thankfully, no one at the theatre was hurt, but Moorer doesn't know how to feel.

"I just haven't been able to slow down, so I feel like probably I'll sit down at home tonight and burst into tears or something," Moorer said. "I just, I just don't know."

The Carmel Foundation opened its doors to people who were looking for a place to escape the situation unfolding a few blocks away.

The foundation employees and 30 others crowded into the hallway and two rooms, shut the doors, and locked themselves inside.

The CEO of the Carmel Foundation, Kim Stemler, says having to hide was a traumatic experience. She says The Carmel Police Chief alerted her that someone with a gun was nearby. She says hearing the shots firing was frightening.

"We're all extremely tense, and then even afterward, when we got the all clear," Stemler said. The Chief texted me and said, 'It's all clear. People can leave.' There's this adrenaline. We're not used to dealing with shooting, thankfully. And there's an adrenaline that builds up and you know, so we're all reeling after that, and I don't think anything else can be expected. It was scary. People live here. We're not used to this in Carmel, and we serve a vulnerable population."

Folks who live in Carmel say this city is peaceful. Everyone is shocked, but glad to be safe.

"We leave our keys in our cars. We leave our front doors open, here in Carmel, you know, and probably not anymore," Moorer said.

"You don't mess with the Carmel police," Dan Gallemore, a resident of Carmel said. "This is a safe town. Yeah, they've got control over everything in this town."

"It's still a super safe community," Stemler said. "And gosh, the way the police came together, sheriffs here, everybody's here. And, you know, just the chief came right to us. We felt very well taken care of."

It’s probably AI crap. Or a third grader.

Fourteen paragraphs in the posted excerpt with Zero information of what happened.

Why didn’t you excerpt and post the meat of the story?

He charged them swinging a crowbar, and was wearing a vest so lesser force would not work.

So either they leave and hope he doesn't attack someone else with a crowbar, or they stop him.
