Caught unawares



A source reveals, "Deepika was walking with her friend and they entered a store. All they heard the sounds of ambulances and police cars zipping past the store. The actress and her companion were wondering whether to stay put, or step out of the store when the owner of the shop alerted them about the shootout in the parallel lane.

"The store owner advised the girls to sneak out the back exit, as it would be safer. There was too much commotion in the area but they managed to jump into a cab and reach the hotel. On her way back, she saw the area where the shootout took place and realised how close she was to the scene of crime."

The London police had sealed off the narrow alley where the shoot out took place and there was some blood on the streets.
