That resident, who did not want to go on camera, added, 'It sounded like some sort of commotion or panic, but not at one point did I think this would be possible.''Everybody is shocked about this situation because we are a small community. We know each other by name. We help each other,' a resident named Marco added. 'I don't know exactly the dynamic of the situation, but I know the family. They're really good people and, again, we are really sorry for what happened.
