Another man — who was apparently in the tower’s lobby when 27-year-old gunman Shane Tamura walked in and started firing — was left gasping for breath on a neighboring office building’s stoop as he called a loved one to tell them what happened.

“I was at work, and this guy came in with an assault rifle and started shooting. I was in the lobby at work,” the man said into the phone.

He buried his face in his hands as he gasped for breath, and had a bandage on his knee and on a hand as a police officer tended to him.
