“It sounded like an automatic weapon. I thought it was firecrackers. I thought somebody, like, lit something. I was like, ‘Really? Memorial Day weekend is over.’ That’s what I thought at first,” she said.
Our crew watched as the car was towed away. It was full of bullet holes.
Neighbors said they heard two quick shots and then a barrage of gunfire — anywhere from 30 to 40 shots.
