"It was just terrible, just terrible," resident Dessy Hill told 6abc. "That, down here that day, was just unacceptable," resident Zahhir Walker said.
Residents told 6abc this is part of a bigger problem; they say this type of violence is done for entertainment on a regular basis. "You had people from other cities coming to watch this as entertainment. That's sad. Why? There's nothing out here for these kids," said Walker.
