"The street out in front of my home was so bright, with lights that I couldn’t see out my window," said Bernie Fay, who lives in the area. "It was five extremely large gun shots very quickly. And then a pause, and then a sixth."

He said it sounded like the shooter was outside his door.

"I ducked down, went into the hallway for safety, took a knee, dialed 911 and I knew by the length of the rings there was a lot of people calling dispatchers," Fay said.
