TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 As the investigation into Thursday night’s deadly shooting at The Edge @ Troy<\/a> continues, witnesses are sharing their stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witnesses said everything started around 10:40 p.m. Thursday outside building 400. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We heard a big bang outside and then some yelling,” said Sydney Parker, a resident at the apartment complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE: Three Troy students arrested in connection with Edge shooting<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I heard gunshots, but, at the time, I didn’t know they were gunshots,” said Kairi Walker, a resident at the apartment complex. “I just heard a loud pop.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many residents headed outside to balconies and walkways to see where the noise came from. That is when the news started to break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We went outside and we saw a silver car kind of backing up and then pulling into a parking spot,” Parker told TrojanVision. “Then we saw two males get out and run towards our right from our balcony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They were screaming, ‘my homeboy just got shot’.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One resident called 911. Once officers arrived, they began processing the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We saw the cops running with guns,” Parker said. “They were asking where he went. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We didn’t really know anything. They were talking to everybody, making sure everything was OK.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people watched from their apartments. Some chose to investigate. <\/p>\n\n\n

“Kind of walked over there and that’s kind of where he [the victim] was laying, ” said Abby Taylor, resident. “We kind of just watched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The police had a flashlight, and he flashed it on the body, and that’s when we could see it. We were just like, ‘oh my God.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We turned away and looked away for a little bit until he took the light off. It was disturbing to look at.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people did tell TrojanVision that apartment employees were seen checking on residents and offering to help. TrojanVision contacted The Edge @ Troy, but was told it could not comment at the time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
