MACON, Ga. — Tonight, some South Bibb neighbors are on edge - and some said they're scared to even walk outside after a weekend shootout.
It happened Sunday afternoon on Sandy Circle. The Bibb County Sheriff's Office said no injuries were reported.
Neighbor Dick Heard was home Sunday, and said the shooting shocked everybody because he hasn't seen that much violence since he moved to Sandy Circle in 1996.
"Nice, close-knit neighborhood," he said.
According to the sheriff's office, the shooting happened in broad daylight around 4:30 p.m.
He said a car drove by a young man and woman walking together. The woman started firing, and the car returned fire.
"Up the street there were kids playing in the yard. Guy right up here just got through walking his dogs ten seconds before," Heard said.
After the shooting, neighbors said they found almost twenty shell-casings.
One bullet hit a house in the neighborhood, and the owner said she was thankful it hit her attic, because her great grandchild was asleep in another room downstairs.
"My neighbor, which was going the opposite direction in her car, she was right there at head level going back the other way when the lady pulled the gun and started shooting. All she had to do was spray in her direction and she would've been dead," neighbor Chris Barfield said.
To preserve the shell casings and evidence from the crime scene, neighbors blocked the street with their own cars until deputies arrived. The Bibb County Sheriff's Office said it took about an hour-and-a-half for deputies to arrive on scene.
In the past, Barfield said neighbors asked for speed cushions and extra patrols - to no avail.
"They know if they come out here, they can do what they want to, and it'll take - they'll be in the next county by the time somebody shows up," Barfield said.
He said unless the county starts taking their neighborhood crime seriously, more shootings could happen, and someone could get seriously injured or worse.
The Bibb County Sheriff's Office said they are investigating, and so far they haven't reported any arrests.
