Investigators said the victims were standing outside an apartment complex when a black sedan drove by and opened fire before fleeing the scene.
One of the victims, who didn't want to share her name, said she didn't know where this came from and doesn't have issues with anyone.
"I don't know nothing," she said after coming back home from the hospital. "I don't see nothing. I just crawled in this way."
