It’s scary because this is the world that we live in. And I don’t know what the answers are to be in a safe neighborhood. I don’t know all the answers. I won’t pretend like I do. But we deserve to be living in a safe community”.

Furthermore, an additional witness named Tia Gibson added, “I would expect it to happen a little more down on Aurora. It’s usually a little better here, but it’s migrating”.
