One resident who was too scared to be identified said he suspected trouble developing when a van parked outside moments before the gunfire.

“It caught my attention how quickly they parked, how quickly they jumped out of the vehicle and how quickly they moved to the front of the building,” the resident said.

The resident said just three minutes later shots rang out.

“The first thing I did was hit the floor,” he said. “It happened about 70 feet from my door, it was pretty loud.”

Police are currently searching for a suspect in the shooting. K9 units were brought to the scene to help with the investigation.

Officers don’t think this incident is connected to any of the other shooting incidents that have killed two people and injured 16 in the last few days.
