Tony Thomas, a neighbor, described hearing four different shots out of the blue. “It was extremely scary at the time, so I dropped everything I was doing and walked away,” Thomas said.

Another neighbour, Sandy Thomas, recalled: “We chatted and she told me she’s a teacher, so she doesn’t talk to each other much, but she seemed like a good girl; we used to see each other from time to time.
