“Yeah it’s sad, because I heard the shots and ran to the window and literally saw kids running and grown people running,” she said.In the meantime, the shock of what’s transpired in the last week is still being felt by Dickson and other residents. “Kids running around all day, all night. I mean I don’t know where the parents are & there are a lot of good parents doing the best they can but there’s just no easy answer,” she said.
