Another neighbor, who also asked to have their identity concealed, said she heard the gunfire.
"I was getting ready to go to bed and that's when I heard the shooting," she said.
The woman said she heard two rounds of rapid gunfire.
"It wasn't no pow, pow. It was like a machine gun or something, fast and loud," she said. "The second time it was a boom, boom, boom, boom. It knocked the cable out in this area."
She said she injured her back while trying to get to safety.
"I was on the couch and I was like, 'no, you gotta get to the floor,' because the way it was coming it was like right in front of my house," she said.
The woman said this was not the first time something like this has happened and she's ready to move.
"I've been here for 30 years and my son was like mom it's time for you to go," she said.
