News 12 spoke to commuters on Saturday who say this is supposed to be a cheerful time not a violent one.

“I didn’t think something like that would happen in this neighborhood it’s usually really quiet after six. Thats unfortunate but that’s the reality in this city, there’s always going to be crime," said a commuter.

Anyone with information is urged to call 1-800-577-TIPS.
