One resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, told NBC6 he heard about 20 shots sounding like a rolling barrage or numerous shots in a row. He said he immediately covered his kids inside the home when he heard the shots outside.

"This was a great neighborhood. We moved out here and I've been out here like 50 something years and it's been real quiet. All the neighbors got along. You didn't even have to lock your door," said another resident who wishes to remain anonymous. "Now you gotta lock your kids up. You got to lock yourself in."
