Chris McFarland survived the mass shooting at the Jacksonville Landing Sunday.
He vividly remembers when the gunman opened fire.
“I got grazed in the head, that's really my injury that I have and after that I just fell to the floor and just remember after I fell to the floor, I turned around and looked and vividly saw this guy unloading a handgun and into a group of my friends," McFarland said.
The Philadelphia man was inside the Chicago Pizza at the Landing when police say 24-year-old David Katz started shooting nearby.
McFarland was grazed in the head and will make a full recovery, but his two friends Eli Clayton and Taylor Robertson were killed.
When McFarland was hit by gunfire, he ran to a bathroom to hide, then escaping minutes later only to see the horror inside the restaurant.

“After I left the bathroom, I went back into the venue and that's when I saw Eli laid in the chair and that is something I'll never forget just seeing him like seeing somebody dead,” McFarland said.
The shooter then turned the gun on himself. JSO says the shooter was targeting Madden players.
McFarland says he is still processing what happened, knowing it could have been much worse.

“Had I leaned a different way, or the shooter would have shot a little bit different I wouldn't be here and it's hard to think about that.”
McFarland met with Alexander Madunic, who was shot in the foot.
The two were treated on the same floor at Memorial Hospital, thankful to have made it out alive.
