That article is the most complete accounting I've read of the incident. Tony's table was close to a rear exit on the bourse and Dan Sedwick's table was not far away, I think in the same aisle. Others that helped out were also in the same area. If you weren't nearby (I wasn't), you never would have realized this happened. The police were parked outside the exit near Tony's table.
