Police are trying to talk to members of the church. Police told 13 Action News, they’ve gotten little information.
Church members would talk on camera with us. Some church members said their pastor instructed them not to speak with us. We knocked on the pastor’s door. So far, he has not responded to us.
A mom who lives nearby said, normally, this is a quiet street. Now, she worries about her kids’ safety. “I got teenagers and I got kids, especially when they go to school in the morning,” said Sandra Cardenas. “I don’t feel like they’re safe on the street. It’s a really big concern.”
Members were scheduled to meet at the church Monday night, but as members drove up, a man from across the street would dart over to tell people to go to another location.
