The officials interviewed a woman who said she has heard gunshots the last couple of weeks.
“It’s upsetting to see this because we try to do what we can for the community with different types of outreach and programs,” she said. “We try to make it better for everyone out here, but sometimes people have lost hope, so we’re doing what we can to make it better.”
The investigation is ongoing.
