Clare, who was driving through the park with her mom, told 7 News she heard several gunshots.

"All of a sudden we heard five or six gunshots go off and then the dogs were crying," she explained.

Clare said she usually cuts through the park to get to Abbott Road and has never seen anything like this.

"It was absolutely a surprise hearing gunshots in the middle of the morning," she said.
