"This isn't a bad area, so it's kind of shocking that something like would happen around here," Eric Jacobi said.
"I saw some papers on ground, a knocked over stool and one of the tent things with a number three so I thought it might be a shooting."

"We saw a bunch of cop cars," Michelle Jacobi said.
