Down the street, a single shot went inside a neighbor’s living room – with only a book on a shelf stopping the bullet from doing any more harm.
“Two of the houses were hit, and then one of the neighbor’s car got hit twice,” said Eric Robb, who owns rental homes hit by gunfire.
Following the incident, some neighbors said they were thankful the shooting didn’t affect more innocent people.
But in the wake of bullets flying by her bedroom window, Orozco said she was still shaken by the violence.
“Why are they doing it, I don’t know why they’re doing it,” said Orozco. “They’re not getting nothing out of it, they’re just getting hurt.”
