“I heard some arguing and knew there was some fighting going one,” said neighbor Kirk Russell.  His young son was sleeping when gunshots first rang out.

“You heard a bunch of screaming. People started screaming at me to call 911,” said Russell.

“A lot of the neighbours started coming out to see what was going on. They want to leave this area. It’s just too close to home.”

Police are in the process of interviewing witnesses. They say they currently have no suspects in custody.
