Sunday, 3:38 p.m.: York City Police say a home on the 600 block of Smith Street was struck by gunfire.

It wasn't the wind but gunshots that sent chills Sunday afternoon.

"I was in my room, and I heard a bunch of shots, and the chill just went through my body," said Bobbi Hawkins of York.

From her home on the corner of Front and Smith Streets, Hawkins could see police marking bullet casings on the ground.

Police say gunfire struck three people, including a child.

"Sad," said Hawkins tearfully. "[I'm a mother] of 5 and 15 grandchildren and one on the way, and it's not safe anywhere. York is getting really bad."

"I'm just a little scared right now," said a woman who lives on Smith Street. "I live right up the street from it, and it's getting too scary around here."

Police have not made an arrest, and they say information is limited.

It is unknown if the victims were targeted or in the wrong place at the wrong time.

More information is expected to be released Monday afternoon.
