Neighborhood concerns grow
What they're saying:
Nearby residents expressed concern about the violence.
"I was surprised. You know, I live two blocks away so it is concerning for sure," said Sean Manning, a Willow Glen resident, who said he has heard reports of unusual activity at the lounge. "Everyone has kind of questioned that business."
Two residents who live above the lounge told KTVU they heard gunshots in the middle of the night and were not allowed to return home until police finished their investigation.
Others said they were shaken.
"I was just shocked. I never see police cars or shootings or anything in this neighborhood. We have lived here for like 30 years," said M.J. Freeman, another Willow Glen resident.
Security video also shows an officer searching neighboring businesses with a flashlight at 4:25 a.m. as the investigation continued into the morning.
