I stayed inside for the rest of the night. I&#8217;m not about to put myself in a situation like that,&#8221; said Berg.<\/p>\n<p>Police said a man was shot and taken to the hospital where he had surgery.<\/p>\n<p>According to investigators, the victim and suspects were all together when the shooting happened.<\/p>\n<p>Police said they do not believe this shooting was random.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It could&#8217;ve came through the wall, like my bedroom is in the front of my house,&#8221; said Berg.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was inside of my house. I was playing video games, so I had my headset on and then I had my window cracked because it was hot, so I heard a pop,&#8221; said Kevin Bernal, a neighbor.<\/p>\n<p>Bernal said he was across the street and looked out his window when he heard a gun shot, but did not see anything at first so he went back to playing video games.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The next thing I see is just the blue and red lights.
