Omorfi was the first to answer, since the detective had used the term, "lady" before "gentlemen ", As much as she wanted to avoid talking about the sirens' post singing curse, it was an important part of the story.
She fidgeted on the perch a bit and then said, "Before I heard any shots, we, the band had just played the last song of the set. I couldn't stay on the stage any longer because I have a condition that I have to eat after an hour or so of singing, so I flew to the upstairs storage room, where we put an ice chest, with my food in it.."
"Faunsto," said Omorfi, nodding at the Satyr, "came to check in me a minute later. He left and Grinz," nodding at the goblin, "came to the store room to ask about the last song. Then I heard the first shot and then another shot. The rest of the band rushed up to the store room and Cretian," she said, indicating the Minotaur, barricaded the door. We stayed there for a bit, until about a minute or so after we heard the UFPD call for the gunman to surrender."
Eqitizus, the Centaur, echoed Omorfi's story, but related that he and Cretian were still on the stage, about to pack gear, when they heard the first shot and saw the man, that they later learned to be Sheriff Neil, shoot at the ceiling and demand for the arrest of the singer. Then they went upstairs to protect Omorfi.
Homer told the detective about how Neil had been intercepted by the Silver Bullet bouncers and waived his badge at them, threatening bloodshed if he and his men were hampered from capturing "the singer", because they were going to "lynch him". Then, Homer had stood up on the stage and called the Sheriff a liar, because "the singer" was a female. The bouncers managed a stand-off with the Sheriff and his men, until they left, after being called to surrender by the local police.
One of the Silver Bullet barmaids brought everyone some coffee and then the detective turned to the other witnesses.
