Both state and local police were on scene throughout the morning as detectives were processing the scene. Three cars were towed from the scene, with two of those having been damaged by gunfire. Homes were also hit by gunfire.

Police say there are people of interest who were taken into custody and they are being interviewed by detectives.

Diana Arbuckle has lived on the street for 12 years, and she says the violence is getting worse. She says she and her brother were sitting on the porch last night when they saw several young people fighting down the street. Then they heard the gunshots.

"It was just something out of the movies in a way," said Arbuckle. "It was awful. It was scary, running for cover in my own house. I was shaken."

Arbuckle says a lot of suspicious activity goes on around the area and wants something to be done to prevent these incidents from happening.

She also hopes those in the hospital are okay and recover quickly.

"You don't want to see that, a teenager shot to death or hurt," added Carl Farrel, a neighbor.

Police say the investigation is ongoing and say they have good leads, are interviewing witnesses, and do have some persons of interest.
