Police say that their investigation found the shooting happened at another location. Police say shots were fired into the victims’ car off Burgess Drive.

The victims, who haven’t been identified, then drove to the gas station to try to get away from the shooter.

Channel 2′s Tyisha Fernandes spoke with a neighbor whose doorbell camera captured the sound of rapid-fire gunshots. We counted more than 20 of them.

“Then I heard a car pull off,” the neighbor said. “Seemed like it was moving fast. Sounded like it was right down the street.”

Neighbors said that young people need to put the guns down.

“It’s getting terrible. Too many young people getting killed these days,” a neighbor said.

Police are continuing to investigate and have not said if they’ve identified any suspects.
