Neighbors told Channel 9′s Tina Terry the neighborhood is a quiet one full of seniors.
Will Hinton said he used to live in the neighborhood. He told Terry he’s alarmed by the violence.
“Nothing like that ever happened over here,” he said.
“Quiet neighborhood, most of the people now over here are retired, old,” he added.
He’s hoping detectives who walked through the neighborhood Monday can solve the case and bring peace to the neighborhood again.
“Yeah, yeah, we want to go back to being a nice neighborhood,” neighbor Shirley Walker said.
It’s unclear if the victims live in the neighborhood.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Rock Hill Police Department.
