Singer Josh Groban was close enough to Tuesday's terrorist attack to hear gunshots, but didn't see the attack or aftermath.
Still, he was shaken up and live-tweeted what was happening.
Groban's afternoon started peacefully enough with a trip to the dog park:
But moments later, Groban reported hearing gunfire.
"Oh my god I just heard gun shots and ran with my dog. Downtown. F***."
Groban later described the surreal scene of seeing trick-or-treaters in the streets amid the sounds of sirens in the aftermath of the attack.
Like many New Yorkers, Groban carried on in the spirit of others in the city as the official Halloween parade carried on as scheduled.
