TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Video released by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office shows a masked gunman enter a garage and fire one shot as the homeowner entered his residence.

Dr. Navin Veerapa lives in the neighborhood and said it’s mostly quiet, but is changing now with all the rental properties.

“Very quite, calm. Initially, it was the owners of the houses that lived here and increasingly rentals,” said Veerapa.

Veerapa was shocked when he saw the video of the shooting.

“Pretty terrifying, in the age of parcels being dropped in your garage and garages being open without you being there, which is kind of becoming the norm now, that’s really scary,” said Veerapa.

Jose Hernandez also lives in the neighborhood and said this isn’t the first shooting incident there.
