Channel 9′s Hannah Goetz spoke with a neighbor who said she believes she heard shots as they were fired.

“Me and my son heard three pops and we thought the neighbors were just shooting. And about ten minutes later we seen all the cops showing up and it scared us ... we didn’t know what was going on,” resident Tina Key said.

Key said she saw blue lights and police cars blocking the rural Rowan County road in front of her neighbor’s home.

“I was scared. I even was so scared when it happened and the cops came. I left for the night,” Key continued.

Key told Channel 9 that neighbors were concerned about the activity surrounding the home since Mays moved in.

“None of my kids feel safe since they moved in,” Key said. “You see other vehicles that are nice looking vehicles that don’t come around here stay 15 minutes then leave back out and another car come in. A little suspicious.”

The States Bureau of Investigation is investigating the shooting.
