One man said he and his family were handing out candy when suddenly he opened his door so children could take cover from the gunfire.
"I'm still traumatized from it. I can't stop thinking about it," said Alyssa Brady from Newark, Delaware.
"I didn't know if we were going to get shot," said 16-year-old Brady. "I didn't know how we were going to get out of there because this is a cul de sac.""The fact that the young girl brought me flowers made my day," said Sullivan, who tried to protect the dozens of children who ran towards her house. "I was in mom mode."
"Kids were laying on the ground, screaming in pain, and it was just awful," recalled one resident. "It was not something I ever want to hear again.""We just got lucky. Pure luck that someone didn't get hit," said Herve Victor, who lives right next to the crime scene. However, a bullet shattered his car window while another one flew through this homeowner's three walls, mattress, and vacuum.
