Residents of the area expressed their disbelief at the incident, describing the neighborhood as family-oriented and generally safe. One neighbor, who recently moved to the street, noted that it had been a quiet place, often bustling with parents picking up their children from the nearby school.
“It’s been very nice so far,” he remarked, emphasizing that this was the first incident he had witnessed since moving in just three weeks ago. The only unusual sight was a pink backpack left on the sidewalk, a stark reminder of the chaos that had unfolded just hours earlier.
Investigation Details
