"We were going outside for a walk with our dogs and then we heard the gunshots but at first, we thought they were fireworks until some dude in a white truck came to us and he told us those weren't fireworks, that they were gunshots. So he told us to go inside for our safety," the child said. "I was kind of scared and my mom was also worried because this has never happened before because this is a really safe neighborhood."
