Neighbor's Perspective
Clarence Oyelese, a resident who moved to the area six months ago, shared his observations. "It's wild," he remarked. He noted that he frequently witnesses emergency lights and sirens in Harrison Township. "Every day I come to work in this area, it's like a shooting, or a fire, or something," Oyelese stated.
Regarding the Sunday incident, he said, "I didn't hear any gunshots. But it was like, a lot of police." Reflecting on the broader context, Oyelese added, "It's a crazy world. So, I just feel like, I mean, you got people carrying guns anyway, CCW. It's open carry, but I mean, people are just trying to protect themselves; some people just use them in the wrong way."
At the scene, a woman approached deputies to inquire about the events, expressing concern that someone close to her might have been involved. A deputy informed her that an individual had been taken to the hospital, after which she departed.
Authorities have not released further details as the investigation continues.
