“One of my friends was like, ‘Hey bro, be on watch out because them two groups, they’re going at it with each other.’ And ten minutes later all you hear is gunshots,” one witness said.
Witnesses said people ran for cover when the gunfire started.
“People were out here having food, we had liquor, performances, all that stuff. It was a good event. I mean, it’s a reunion,” another witness said. “It was organized. Right concept, wrong time.”
A time, the witness says, they’ve grown all too accustomed to.
“If y’all want to be honest, I had my gun on me just because. No, I wasn’t scared," the witness said. "Growing up in this area, this type of stuff happens. You feel me? It is what it is.”
