People were just feet away from the barrage of bullets. The shooting happened in the middle of the day, while so many were home.

"It’s something I will never forget the sound of," said Theresa Martin. "To have that right out our back door, it’s very scary."

Shortly after Martin got home on Sept. 27, chaos unfolded behind her apartment around 6 p.m.

Cellphone video shows the moments a group of people got into a fight with another guy in the middle of a parking lot surrounded by apartments.

Seconds later, he unleashed, pulling out a gun and pointing it straight at them, firing at least 18 shots toward the group.

"I still think about it and glad we were in the house," said Martin. 

Weeks later, neighbors were still very disturbed by what happened.

"Oh my God, I can’t believe it," said a neighbor, too scared to show their face. "That’s terrible. They were just shooting wildly."

No one was injured in the shooting, but neighbors said they couldn't help but consider the "what ifs." 

"It could’ve been a whole other story," said Martin. 

Neighbors want the person to be caught so this doesn't happen again.

"That’s too close for comfort," said Martin.
