Shoppers and eyewitnesses to the horrific crime tell television station WMC they are disgusted with the ongoing violence.

“Just to know something happened so close to in the path of my children is very scary and I’m sure it’s very scary for the children that were affected,” said shopper Chastity Talbert.

The shooting happened near Ridgeway High School.

The crime around here has gotten out of control,” said shopper Cameron Boyd. “It has been for awhile now.”

“It’s happening a lot in the city here lately,” said shopper Greg Graziosi. “Something’s got to be done. I’m not a policeman, I don’t really know what to do.”
