“Shock!" said Teresa Atkins. "It was total shock.”

Neighbors are upset the  deadly shoot out is making noise on the quiet street, but say they won't let this incident scare them. 

“It’s not the same age or time that I grew up in," said Atkins. "We just didn’t do that.”

I think it’s an unfortunate incident but I think it’s an isolated incident," said Kaniewski. "I don’t think we have anything to worry about."
