A neighbor who lives near 16th avenue in Phenix City said he was sleeping in and woke up to gun shots and complete chaos. He asked we not reveal his identity for safety reasons.
“I heard three gunshots it sounded like a pistol, bam, bam, bam! At least two ladies, maybe three they just started screaming,” the man said.

“When officers were en route to the call they noticed a vehicle leaving the crime scene at a high rate of speeding,” PCPD Chief Ray Smith said.
