Local perspective:

One resident, who only wanted to be identified as Dylan for his safety, says he heard gunshots really close to him. 

"All I saw was just like the muzzle and like the orange and the fire come from the automatic rifle. As soon as I did, as soon as I heard those go off, I immediately ducked down and called 911, and my cats were like freaking out," he said. "It was kind of traumatic a bit. I was just shaken up because I grew up around guns and stuff like that before, but not when that's happening at 12:30 at night on a weekday."

Dylan says the whole incident was worrisome and a reminder to be alert no matter what part of town you live in. 

"Makes me feel unsafe, because sometimes I work late at night. I could just imagine myself walking into my apartment really late at night when that was happening. I'm just glad that didn't happen whenever I was out there heading home. Kind of gives a feeling of unease," he said. "Keep a lookout on everything and just be prepared for anything to happen."
