Originally neighbors said they heard four shots and then saw a man and woman taken away in an ambulance.

"They were working on him. People from the ambulance, so he was obviously still alive," explained Lisa Chokola, neighbor. "Then they brought a woman out who was crying and screaming on the cell phone, like pretty hysterical."

"I heard what sounded like gunshots, about three or four of them." said neighbor Ed Hilla. "Then I saw police and ambulance, that's about it."
