Residents on the street said they, along with their mailman, were injured in the shooting.
One resident said: “My car was parked on the street and my rear window and rear window were shot out.
Sani Rulis di Barr, a resident of Claremont Street, said: ‘You can see bullet casings everywhere and then my neighbor’s car was shot.
“Our mail lady was on the street, I walked down there to make sure she was okay and she was terrified. She was with her supervisor, I looked up and saw the bullet hole in the truck so she was super scared,” di Barr said. “I want her to feel safe back on our street, she’s really nice, I just want her back and I hope she’s okay.
A postal worker on the street on Wednesday afternoon told WJZ’s Annie Rose Ramos that they were delivering mail to their colleague, who had returned home from the incident.
