Residents expressed fear on the police department's Facebook page.

Michelle Salinardi wrote, "Many of the things I would feel safe doing 4 or 5 years ago in Alameda, I would definitely think twice about or not do. Simply going for a walk in the dark or sitting on the beach after dark no longer feel like safe options anymore. Very sad!"

From Lian Darrow, "I live in the neighborhood, heard the shots. It was scary. I am not normally scared in my neighborhood."

The investigation continues.
