Matthies also says he had a friend inside his apartment earlier who told him that JSO told him to stay in his apartment.
“He said he’s a guy who shoots a gun everywhere,” she said. “I hope they fix this. We pay rent. This isn’t great. It’s supposed to be Southside, Arlington area. What’s going on?”
Stepherson also heard someone yell at the scene earlier, “If you’re in fear of your life, we can help you. If you need help, JFRD is on the scene.”
