Action News Jax spoke with a father who lives up the street. He said he’s never heard of something like that happening here.
“It’s pretty scary,” Tyrice Hamer said. “I’m kind of cautious about [my son] coming outside. It happened right down the street, and it doesn’t normally happen, so I don’t know if it’ll happen again.”
