Secure your establishment so that no one leaves or enters until the police arrive, and send someone to a vantage point, at once, in an attempt to see if a vehicle was used and to try to get its make, color, license number, and direction of departure.

Preserve and protect evidence. Don't touch anything! If shots were fired and shell casing ejected, do not touch the casings; leave them exactly where they are. If tools or footprints are left behind, don't touch them or deface them. Bring them to the attention of the investigating officer.

Finally, after observing as much as possible, obtain names of customer witnesses and give all of the information to the police. Your cooperation is their greatest assistance.
