    Heard the gunfire and saw 4 men with rifles rushing through the alleyway behind Holden Vista to a white getaway SUV across the street. No signs of injuries thankfully.

    Thank you for the update. I was hoping I was wrong. Woke to what sounded like rapid gunfire but tried to convince myself it was fireworks.

    Thanks for reporting. I wish they had been fireworks. I heard them from Sunrise Heights (near Walt Hundley) right as I let my dogs outside and called 911.

    Literally right next door. Heard it, went to investigate but didn’t see anyone. Never heard a word or anything from police. It wasn’t until next afternoon that I saw damage to our neighbors apartments. I saw no less than a dozen bullet holes and it would appear they were fired from parking lot just outside my back gate. Unclear on motivation as this is a section 8 complex full of working families. I’d sure love to hear/know more from police…..but they are shorthanded.

Sorry, comment time is over.
