Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
At a business like this, I have to wonder if there are any cameras that authorities are looking into. Video footage often gets overwritten frequently, so securing it quickly is crucial. That may prove crucial in identifying a suspect and seeing there is ultimately accountability for what happened here.
