A 57-year-old woman was rushed to a local hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries. Two male victims, aged 69 and 33, survived. A short time later, a fourth victim, a 31-year-old male, arrived at an area hospital by private vehicle seeking treatment for gunshot wounds sustained in the same incident.
Newly obtained home surveillance footage captures the moments during the assault. In the video, successive gunshots ring out as people are seen fleeing the residence in panic.
Witnesses on the street can be seen turning back toward the home in disbelief before more gunfire forces them to scatter. Amid the chaos, an individual in the recording can be heard screaming, “God, oh God! Call 911!”
