Rahman viewed the election day results as a sign of a panicky electorate that was hammered with alarmist rhetoric about violence and thefts for months.

"And he was panicky and frantic, and he was like, 'something's happened, something strange has happened'."

Then Pollak heard two shots, and panicky shouts erupted behind him.
