Ashley Battle and her family live just a few houses down from the car crash.
"I was inside my home and it sounded like a big canon went off," she said, adding that police were actively searching in her neighborhood.
"I was scared because I didn't know what was going on," Battle said. "I'm hearing rustling and tussling in my backyard, I don't know what's going on."

One neighbor said she saw three men running, and police put at least one of them on the ground.
"When I came, I saw a lot of police helicopters and I saw two or three boys run - and after 20 minutes, I see one and they put him on the floor," she said.
The shooting victim was taken to a nearby hospital, and his condition was unknown.
