“Whoa, a lot I remember that not since the Marathon bombing I saw so many police at the station,” said
Camilo Lamdestoy works in a local store right across from the station.
Shattered glass and at least one bullet hole in the SUV window were clearly visible. Neighbors say the streets were blocked for hours as police investigated.
“There was drones and everything. There was drones above me and it seemed like every cop car was out here. Yeah, it was pretty nuts we haven’t seen anything like it and there are people who have lived here longer and haven’t seen anything like it,” said Glynn.
As the investigation continues, neighbors say this kind of violence needs to end.
“It’s too crazy people don’t respect anybody, they don’t respect the properties, the police, the anybody,” said Lamdestoy.
