Christy Day and her children live in the neighborhood where shots rang out Monday, right in the middle of the day.
"These kinds of crimes, when they happen, they need to be clamped down on immediately. Because when you have a stable community like this one, it needs to remain stable," said Day.
Parents are scared and angry.
The shots were fired into this home on Vine Street, at about 2:30 p.m. Exactly the time of day when kids are usually running up and down the streets, playing basketball.
One neighbor told us that crime in this area has been getting worse for years.
"What can you do when all the crime is getting to be so much more and so much bigger and so much more out of control," Steven Sigmond said. "I mean, you can't have an officer standing at every other house. You just can't."
Others say they are doing all they can to protect their families, while police do what they can to find this latest suspect on the run.
"You just do what you can," Day said. "You tell your children that they're protected. I've always felt very comfortable, and I still do. I think it was an isolated incident, and you just assure your children that you're doing everything you can to protect them."
