The video appeared to show multiple shooters fire shots behind a tree and around a vehicle. Neighbors told FOX6 News both on and off camera that shootings are all too common in the area – and they're tired of them.
"Always gunshots going on around here, but not like it was last night," Seaberry said.
Seaberry said, while gunfire is common, homicides are something else. He said he wants to see more police patrols in the area to help cut down on crime. Others, who did not want to speak on camera, said they were not sure how to solve the issue, but something needs to change.
