Local perspective:

"I was peeking through the pickets, and all I could see was just police cars," said Donna Turner, a neighbor.

She said she thought she heard gunshots on Friday morning.

"I heard the shot, but then there’s always so many cars that come by here, and they go pop, pop, pop," said Turner. "I started seeing all the Williamson County Sheriff’s Department out here, and I was like, ‘Oh man, something bad has happened,’ and it did."

"I just can’t believe it when I built my house. You know, in 1979 it was so quiet and peaceful. I wouldn't have ever dreamed something like this would happen," said Turner.
