We’re so grateful that it wasn’t worse than it was.”
Neighbors were frightened and described hearing a barrage of bullets rip through their neighborhood during that gun battle. “You just heard pow, pow, pow, like somebody had machine guns or grenades or something just back and forth. And then the cops came,” Nola Brady said. said. Nola Brady was getting into her truck, about to leave for work Wednesday evening when a hail of gunfire erupted just steps away in Frankford.
