Neighbors said there were a lot of people outside at the time, including children. Neighbors said they heard three or four gunshots.

"It's sad. Every time you walk away from someone, you have to say 'be safe,'" Willie Smith said.

Smith said he didn't have to be there when the shooting happened to feel its impact.

"It's sad for a one-year-old. People talk about taking away the guns and all that, but that will never happened because there's too many out here," Smiths aid.

A family member of one of those victims, who did not want to speak with FOX6 News on camera, said hearing gunshots on Monday night caused horrible memories to come flooding back.

Some neighbors have gathered together in an effort to support the 23-year-old woman and one-year-old child shot on Monday night -- with plans to visit her at the hospital.
