Channel 9 spoke to a neighbor about the incident, who said she heard gunshots.
“I went back to bed to fall asleep, and I heard it was quiet. Then six or seven shots, maybe eight, but it was close,” the neighbor explained. “I don’t know what caliber it was, but it was loud.”
Another neighbor, Clinton Woods, said he has lived in the neighborhood for 23 years and there is generally no crime.
“I’ve never seen police tape here. Obviously people have called the police for different reasons, but I’ve never seen an active crime scene,” Woods explained.
He further said that incidents like this could lead to other residents no longer wanting to rent short-term housing in the area.
“We’ve got to do something about it, and I don’t know what. We’ve got to have a no-tolerance policy and crack down hard,” Woods said. “I’d hate to wake up at 1 a.m. and hear six, seven, eight gunshots.”
