Neighbor says she saw aftermath of deadly Wilmington shooting
When the shooting happened, Terrielle Jordan thought it was construction outside of her home. But then the shooting stopped, and she saw man lying on the ground who was shot.
"I've never been so close up on something that happened like that," she added. "I've never been so close up like that, so I was like, It was intense."
Jordan captured video of paramedics trying to save one person's life, while two other people lay on the ground nearby.
"He was just looking up at us, just staring at us," Jordan said. "But before I could even call 911, the police ended up pulling up."
Other neighbors who live in the area said the shooting isn't shocking — it's routine.
"It's commonplace here, it's common," said Rick Johnson, who lives a few houses nearby the shooting.
Jordan agreed and said this is the third shooting on her block since she moved in last October. She was planning on staying another year, but now she believes she might need to move.
Jordan added that she can't stop thinking about how close she came to being caught in the middle of it.
"I could've been walking to the corner store," she said, "and been caught in the crossfire of that, and I got five kids, and my kids could've been without a mom today."
As police search for answers, neighbors said something has to change.
"Stop the violence, put the guns down and stop killing," Martin Pritchett, another neighbor, said.
