Molly, a local resident who lives near where the shooting unfolded, says she was at home at the time and heard the gunshots.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just heard three gunshots. Everyone else said they heard five gunshots. But it sounded very loud and very different from what I\u2019m used to hearing. Anyway, I did look out the window, and I heard and saw nothing,\u201d Molly told amNewYork. \u201cThere were no sirens, no screaming, no chaos, nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another nearby resident, who did not provide her name, she said she was walking nearby when the gunfire erupted.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how many gunshots; I just ran inside. I was scared,\u201d the woman said. \u201cI saw the ambulance from my rooftop.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Police descended on the scene, blocking off several blocks with crime scene tape. Several shell casings could be seen on the ground as officers investigated.
