“Completely shocking. Not something we’ve ever expected to happen in a neighborhood, to happen in this neighborhood,” said resident Nicola Arteca.
“These things can happen anywhere, even in a quiet neighborhood like ours. It’s terrible, you know, but it’s just the world that we live in,” said Matthew Fernandez.
