Investigators say all of the homes were occupied at the time of the shooting.

What they're saying:

"That was from the June shooting. These are fresh. These are last night," said Kim Brake pointing to bullet holes in her front windows. She was trying to keep track of which bullet holes in her home are which recent shooting.
But last night’s barrage of gunfire outside her was more than she can take.

"My house has been hit 13 times. You can count them right there and inside the window. They went straight through the house," said Brake.

She continued, "We shouldn't’ have to live like this, I shouldn’t have to be afraid in my home."

"My sister and her 3-year-old granddaughter were sitting in the living room and they actually ran to the back room scared, ducking," added Brake.
