“Just random bullets and everyone was running and scattering along the block,” said Bobbie Robinson, co-owner of Harold’s Chicken and Ice Bar.

Robinson said her security guard will need surgery, but is expected to be okay.

Police said one of the other victims is in good condition. The third victim was rushed to the hospital in serious condition.

The shooters took off before police arrived and have not been identified.

“My concern is the safety of our patrons and our employees,” Robinson explained.

Gun violence has broken out along Edgewood Avenue and in some of the surrounding areas before. Business owners continue to ask for more police patrols.

“If they would come and put their bodies here, then that would deter some of this craziness going on because people just tote guns like it’s nothing,” Robinson explained.
