"She had a problem with YouTube...
We called the cop and told them there's a reason she went from San Diego to that, so she might do something.
I didn't know she had a gun. I didn't know she'd start a fight.
The cop told us they'd keep an eye on her
After 12 hours the shooting happened.
She got killed, the other 3 people got hurt.
I did my best to avoid it but looks like cop didn't do their job," he said.
