“We were chillin’ down the street from my grandma’s, and we heard like three, four maybe five gunshots,” he said. “So we’re like, ‘what’s going on?’ So we pull around the corner and we just see somebody lying there, and then we don’t want to be in it, so we just skirted off to Speedway.”
The teen say he and his friends didn’t call 911 because they were too afraid, but saw police in the area minutes later.
Springfield police said at this point they don’t have any suspects in the shooting.
