Police haven’t released any new details about the investigation, but 21Alive News returned to the scene on Abbott Street on Monday to capture neighborhood reaction.

Eric Miller was feeding his cats when he heard gunshots and called 911. He lives directly across the street from where the scene happened.

“I heard, well, I said probably 15, at least 15 rounds”, Eric Miller says.

He says gunshots are a sound that will always stick with him.

Miller served in the Navy for 10 years. He says that in a moment like that, he couldn’t just stay inside.

“Ran up and ran outside, that’s when I saw them over there, several people over there at the house, and I saw a little girl lying down,” Eric Miller says.

He says dozens of young people had come together outside, probably around 50, just across the street from his home. After calling 911, he says he didn’t go back in; instead, he watched and waited as first responders got there.

Police are still working to find out exactly what happened that night. They say there is no threat to the public.
