Terrifying moment San Francisco store owner is shot 7 times at point-blank range in random attack

A scary video shows the moment a business owner in San Francisco, a city with a lot of crime, was shot seven times very close up in a random attack.

Martin Olive, 47, was outside his cannabis store in the Mission District on January 27, taking a break to smoke, when a masked man on an electric bike suddenly came up to him, according to police.

The video shows the attacker, 34-year-old Cheasarak Chong, who later died in a shootout with police, getting off the bike and pulling out a gun while Olive was looking at his phone.

Olive was hit seven times and fell to the ground, holding his head as the shots were fired. The attacker shot Olive several more times while he was lying on the ground bleeding.

Olive told a local newspaper that the first bullet felt like a hot metal ball hitting his cheek. He thought he was going to die on the street.

He was badly hurt with gunshot wounds to his back, chest, and face and was taken to the hospital in serious condition.

The attacker ran away but was later found by police in his apartment nearby. He got into a shootout with the police and was killed. Police found many weapons in his apartment, including guns, magazines, and a bulletproof vest.

The police are still trying to find out why the attack happened.
