Deputies say one of the 16-year-old suspects was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound.

Bullet holes could be seen lining homes and cars, shattering windows and leaving behind damage on Wednesday morning.

Rodney, who lives nearby, stopped by his house to grab a basketball when the gunfire erupted.

“It sounded like 100 or something shots, like hella shots going off the whole time,” he said. “It sounded like I was playing a video game. It sounded like a ‘Call of Duty’ game. It was going. Then, they stopped for a little bit, started going again. It was a lot.”

Three of the suspects are being held without bond. Online records show Upson will have a court hearing May 28.
