“Shots outside my window. Somebody is out there shooting, five or six times,” a female caller told the dispatcher.

Another caller urged officials to come to the area.

A woman told the dispatcher she heard 12 to 13 shots and cars were fleeing that area.

A man said he was staying inside because shots were still being fired, but he told dispatchers he could see the victim.
