According to the police report, the woman said she and her husband were swimming near the Target Wall beach, which is not far from the Vincent Mason Coral Beach Pool when her husband decided to get out of the water.

When she contacted police she told them that she did not hear any gunshots and did not see people or vehicles in the area.
