What they're saying:
Dave Miller lives next to the property where the shooting happened. He told FOX 29 that he was going out to run some errands, when he ran into a police officer responding to the scene. The officer let him through, but Miller said he forgot something at home, and by the time he turned around to head back, he heard the gunshots.
"It happened that quick," Miller said. "And it was more gunshots than I've ever heard. I, can't even tell you how many it was. It's just total pandemonium."
