"F***, this girl just got shot in the f***ing head," Bilzerian told his 23 million followers in the first post, which was uploaded around 10 p.m. local time (PDT). "So f***ing crazy."
"So I had to go grab a gun. I'm f***ing headed back. It's f***ing so crazy - some kind of mass shooting," he said in the second video, which was broadcast about an hour later. "F***ing guy had a heavy calibre or whatever."
"Saw a girl got f***ing shot in the face right next to me," he said, before the clip cut out.
