Winifred Farria was like many of her Dekalb County neighbors. She couldn’t believe that a shooting happened just feet away from her home.
“I was quite shocked to hear that this incident happened. I’m shocked to hear that this happened in this neighborhood. This is a quiet neighborhood. Everyone gets along,” said Farria.
Police covered the neighborhood and neighbors said it was pure chaos outside the clubhouse where the shooting happened.

Winifred said although, normally, the neighborhood is quiet, she’s scared.
