Neighbor Bob Lawrence said he heard the gunfire.

"It's surprising," said Lawrence. "Well, we've lived here 40 years and nothing like this has ever happened and now this is going on."

He told Channel 11 what he saw that led up to the shooting.

"The car came home and they went in the house," he said. "Then I heard three gunshots, then nothing after that. I come back in the house and then went out again and the car was gone."
