I called 911 and then went out to my balcony because I have an access to the parkade corner,” she said.
Police are still investigating.

“I called 911 and then went out to my balcony because I have an access to the parkade corner,” she said.
“I noticed a gentleman lying outside the third floor with six police officers trying to revive him.”
Harrison also saw a pool of blood on the second floor while the stairway from ninth floor to the second floor was also smeared with blood.
She said she didn’t know any of the people and thought they were new tenants.
