Witnesses say they saw the suspects fleeing through the woods, but no arrests have been made. One resident said this is a common problem in this area of ​​Rochester and she is not surprised it happened again.

“I've said it a hundred times, it's not the owners or the maintenance, it's the building, it's the neighborhood. I feel like it has a certain reputation,” said Sharon Fortner, a Falcon Landing resident.

The situation makes it difficult for those who simply want to raise their families in a safe place, and for people like Sharon who cannot afford to simply pack up and leave.

“I feel unsafe. You never know. There are children here. There are people like me, I'm disabled. There are people who are trying to live here and raise their families, and when something like this happens, it's scary. You never know if it's going to happen to you,” Fortner said.
