“I’m not scared of anything, but Lord Jesus himself,” said Destiny Johnson, who came to the area after her parents heard gunshots.
“I would hope that somebody would think twice before making such an egregious decision with the children around and not even just the children but we all as adults are human,” she added.
Detectives are working to figure out what happened in the moments leading up to the shooting and any possible motive. They do not believe the shooting to be random.
