Neighbor Rhys Harrington spent Wednesday morning cleaning up the glass from his windshield. He says the shooting left bullet holes in three of his family’s cars.

“The fact that all three of our cars got hit and, you know, it’s right there...It is a scary thought,” Harrington says.

Harrington says he feels lucky that the cars were in front of the house to block the dozens of bullets that were fired Tuesday night.

“You try not to think about those things, right?”

A lieutenant with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said it all started as a shooting on Carley Court, which is the road just across from the home.

“I’m just sad to hear all of this went on,” said Rodger Sebben, the landlord. “And I’m curious to see what condition my building is in, that’s for sure.”

The sheriff’s office hasn’t released any details on a possible suspect or the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
