NBC 6 spoke to a neighbor who says he heard a few gunshots that woke him up. Minutes later, he says the area was filled with police.
“Around 3 a.m., I had fallen asleep on the couch and I woke up to three to four really loud gunshots. I immediately knew what it was because I have heard them here before,” said the neighbor, Aleksi Morales.
Morales says he saw a man laying on the ground with an officer attempting CPR.
