Switkowski said he has lived in the neighborhood for four decades and has never seen an incident like this in the area.
Another neighbor, Tom Nevin, believes he heard around ten gunshots.

"Multiple people started showing up in cars and it looked like they were very upset, there were actually people crying on the street and stuff," Switkowski said.
Windows of a gray Porsche at the scene appeared to have been shot out. That car was filled with police evidence markets. That Porsche was towed from the scene as was a white BMW.
