Kimberly Goodall, who also lives in the apartment complex, summed up the event by saying, “I’m a single woman and I thought I was moving to a decent place, but things happen everywhere. That’s really horrifying. I hate to hear that anybody’s life has been taken, but it’s almost your life or theirs, so it’s a decision you have to make and live with.”
