Rhonda Giffin’s camera captured a car speeding by. In the following frame of the video, a person runs between her and her neighbor’s house. Something appears to be in the person’s hand.
“I was in my bedroom playing with my puppy. And I heard a loud explosion. We both jumped, and then I heard a couple of ‘pff pff [gunshot sounds]’ !” Giffin said.
Giffin and her next-door neighbor discovered bullet holes in their cars. She and neighbors, however, say the two victims were shot in a separate nearby area of the subdivision -- that location is unclear.
