Laverne Baker says she knows she was not the target of the shooting, but it is not clear who was.
A former gang member is asking Dallas police to do more to fight gang violence after a group of people opened fire on a 75-year-old woman's home in southeast Dallas .Laverne Baker says her home's surveillance camera captured the terrifying moments early Tuesday morning as eight people approached and rapidly fired shots.The gunshots continued from across the street as they drove away."Like bombs going off," recalled Baker. "It felt like a war zone.
"The Dallas police incident reports call the crime "destruction of property" and "vandalism," but details are lacking and there is nothing identifying it as gang activity."I think it is misleading, I think the police know that it is gang-related," said Levels.Levels says he knows the signs, because he is a former gang member who was blinded by a gunshot."We thought we were going to start this gang to provide protection, love for our community.
