Resident Mickey Weaver could be seen on a Ring doorbell camera trying to enter her home for shelter.

“I just got out of my car and I thought I heard fireworks. It was just a loud noise,” Weaver said. “I'm not used to gunshots, so I thought it was fireworks. I assumed everyone had it heard.

MNPD said it started with an argument at the community pool. The suspect reportedly said a group of people swimming was too loud. That's when investigators say he left and returned with a gun.

In the meantime, the group left the pool area, but the suspect caught up with them. Then, investigators said the suspect shot at the victims' car and fled. It appears that no one was hit by the shots. Chad Bobo lives in the area and hopes to represent it soon.
