She it's a usually a quiet neighborhood, but now the rising crime across Hampton Roads is making residents, fearful.
"I don’t even like putting my kids outside," she said. "I don’t let them play in the front yard; If they play, they play in the back yard. If we’re outside, they got to be outside with an adult in the front yard. It’s just not really safe, at all. At all.”
Another neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said she knows two of the victims.
“They’re both in the hospital. One’s recovering and the other one’s in ICU and they’re hoping for him to recover with a bullet wound in his lung," the neighbor said.
