One resident said she lived in fear as children in the area were living in danger. “I have a 14-year-old son and it disturbs me that he has to be exposed to this. I am blessed with the fact that he does not live with me, so I don’t have to fear for him. But I fear for our other children,” the resident said.
The residents said they were willing to camp outside the station until police implement safety measures in the area.
