Audio from a surveillance video captured the dozens of shots ringing out and squealing tires.
Across the street, a woman heard the shots, gathered her children and took them to where she thought would be the safest area of their home.
“My kids were sleeping in their room behind us, and when I heard it, my husband was in the shower, he ran from across the house. I ran from across the house to grab my kids and put them in the room without windows because I felt that was the safest. My kids are traumatized,” said the woman. “It was going on and on and on.”
“I thought I was gonna die,” said an 11-year-old who took cover when she and her family heard the shots. “I was gonna go to sleep but when I went to sleep, I heard the gunshots. Then, I went to my parents’ room and then we were all like, ‘Oh, be quiet. Turn off the lights,’ and everything and see what they’re doing, but that’s all we heard.”
Three homes and several vehicles were struck by bullets, according to police.
One of the bullets hit a window of the home where one woman and her husband slept.
“So scared,” said the woman.
The back window of Rev. Wilner Jean-Paul’s pickup truck was shattered.
One vehicle that was damaged in the shooting could be seen being towed from the scene.
