The shooting happened not far from Lorah Park Elementary School. Neighbors said it was the second shooting in the area in the past week.

Creary said he knew the man who was shot early Monday.

"I feel sorry for him, he was a nice guy, you know? He didn’t bother anybody, he would just do his thing and not bother anyone," he said.
