Two of the victims were in critical condition and the other victim had serious, non-life-threatening injuries.
“It’s pretty scary honestly,“ said Somkiat Cholvanich, who lives nearby.
Cholvanich has been living in the neighborhood since 2010 and said it’s generally quiet, but recalled hearing 12 gunshots fired Thursday night.
“Last night [it] was nice weather so I had cracked my window [and] I hear the pop pop pop pop sound. It sounded like a round of gunfire, said Cholvanich.
One neighbor who declined to give his name said that after he heard the gunshots, he saw three people take off in different directions.
He said Thursday’s incident is the second shooting to occur in the area in as many weeks, although no one was hurt during the first shooting.
