LAFAYETTE, La. — Two juveniles who were wounded in a shooting Monday night on Evelyn Drive are in critical condition.
The horrifying shooting was all captured on a nearby home's security camera.
"Immediately, my eyes gazed at the boy who pulled out the gun," said Casey Greenwood, a nearby neighbor who witnessed the shooting.
"I told my husband they are shooting; we have to go inside," said Greenwood
Casey and her husband, Everett Greenwood, were only a few feet away when the shooting happened.
"It was shocking; I didn't know what else to do besides be calm and get to safety," said Casey Greenwood
"We were so calm we didn't even realize what was going on until all the shots were fired and the car was gone," said Everett.
After the horrifying shooting, Casey and her husband sprinted back inside the house and called 911.
"I really don't feel safe here anymore. I am really scared," said Casey
Although the shooting left them stunned and horrified, Casey and her husband worried for the young men caught up in the gun battle.
"Because they are children, I do not want a fatality, I do not want parents to lose a child; I do not want their lives to be ruined but shots were fired, and it's just heartbreaking," said Casey.
