"I just walked by the table said hey to the guys to see what's going on and they were just talking," Shares said. But no sooner did he leave and the shot was fired. "Literally 15 seconds went before the gun went off and (Victor Wilson's) his buddies grabbed him, got him out the door and to the hospital. I mean nobody even knew what happened," Shares said. Rochester police say Correa, a licensed security guard, shot his friend with a Smith and Wesson 40 caliber pistol.
