"We were just coming out of the subway and we heard six shots, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," said one Ridgewood resident.
Another resident said the surrounding neighborhood has become unsafe.
"I'm afraid. I live in this neighborhood, two blocks from here, and this is not safe. It’s happening constantly," she said.
