Neighbors said the sound of rapid gunfire has disrupted the usually quiet Oakhurst community.

"It sounded like a machine gun," one neighbor described.

Overnight, both Tuesday and Wednesday around 12:30 investigators said gunmen fired into two homes.

On Hood Circle, it's easy to see where bullets landed Wednesday.

The grandson of the homeowner told FOX 5 off-camera they struck the living room.

"I was terrified that the family had been hurt because we have a lot of respect for the people across the street," a neighbor who asked us to not identify her said.

She said she doesn’t think this was a targeted attack.

"I mean he's been here forever, for 50-years. He's kind and friendly," she said.

The shooting on Tuesday happened on Feld Avenue, about a half a mile away.

"It's a concern but I really am not nervous. One reason why because I trust God" described a neighbor across the street.

People said they heard at least 25 gunshots.
