This is inhumane….People were being killed five minutes away from my home. How can this be normal? My children live there, my mother lives there, my family lives there, my brother, relatives they’re five minutes away from that place. I was getting calls until morning. They were saying people are being killed and that there are some anti-terrorist operations going on.
The UFC star revealed that people were shot near his residence, where his entire family resides. According to reports, the death toll has risen to 20.
