A mother, who has lived in the complex for seven years, says she's worried about her family’s safety. 

“It got me scared, got me panicked. I’ve got children myself, so I’m scared for me and my children. This type of thing happening, yes, I’m very scared and panicking for my life,” Ruby Nance said. “I’ve never seen anything like this. Never came home to anything like this. Never expected that a kid was going to get shot in here. That is heartbroken and sad.”
