“It was a lot of them rapidly like ‘pow, pow, pow,'” she said.
Johnson said she told her daughter she couldn’t go outside because of the gunshots. She said she’s now on edge because several kids live in the neighborhood, including two of her own, and the gunshots rang out right around the time children are normally waiting at the bus stop.
Two people have been arrested at the scene so far on Friday, but police would not say if the arrests were made in connection with the shooting or not.
At least two cars at the apartment complex had their windows hit by bullets.
Police did not release the identity or condition of the man who was shot.
