Police have not confirmed any details on why they were on scene, but through the range cast scanner, NBC6 heard a pediatric patient was rushed to Memorial Regional for accidentally shooting himself in the leg.
"The safety and well-being of our residents are our top priority, and the property is secure. The incident is under active investigation and defer to law enforcement on the matter," the management of the apartment complex said in a statement.
Two neighbors on their way to work said they were surprised this was happening in their area, which is quiet and has patrols.
