WEBVTT ORANGE COUNTY DEPUTIES ARE ON THE HUNT FOR THE SUSPECT RESPONSIBLE FOR SHOOTING TWO PEOPLE INSIDE THE TYMBER SKAN APARTMENTS. IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT. RESIDENTS SAY DESPITE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE SAFETY, THEY'VE NOT SEEN MUCH CHANGE. AMANDA OBER WAS AT TYMBER SKAN TODAY AND JOINS US WITH MORE. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST EMBATTLED COMMUNITIES IN ORANGE COUNTY IN TERMS OF HAVING A REPUTATION FOR CRIME AND DANGER. TODAY I TALKED WITH RESIDENTS WHO BELIEVE THE ONLY SOLUTION MAY BE TO SHUT THE WHOLE COMPLEX DOWN. SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER, COUNTY OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN WORKING TO IMPROVE THINGS AT TYMBER SKAN, A CONDO COMPLEX OFF SOUTH TEXAS THAT FOR YEARS HAS BEEN PLAGUED BY FIRES, DRUG DEALING AND VIOLENT CRIME. LATE TUESDAY NIGHT, A WOMAN AND MAN WERE SHOT THROUGH A WINDOW WHILE SITTING ON THEIR COUCH WATCHING TELEVISION. THE WOMAN WHO WAS IN HER 40S WAS SHOT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT BOTH SHE AND THE MAN ARE IN STABLE CONDITION. DEPUTIES LOOKED FOR A SHOOTER BUT TURNED UP EMPTY. IT'S NOT CLEAR IF THE VICTIMS WERE TARGETED OR RANDOM. BUT RESIDENTS HAVE THEIR OWN OPINION. NO ONE JUST WALKS UP AND SHOOTS A GUY. NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN SOMEONE DID SOMETHING TO THAT PERSON AND THEY RETALIATED. SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN TYMBER SKAN TOLD US CRIME IS SIMPLY IMBEDDED IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY SAY MOST OF THE CONDOS BELONG TO ABSENTEE OWNERS. THEY CLAIM DESPITE THE COUNTY'S EFFORT TO TEAR DOWN CONDEMNED UNITS AND EVICT ILLEGAL TENANTS OF OTHERS, THERE HASN'T BEEN MUCH IMPROVEMENT. I STAY INSIDE OF MY HOME. THEY SHOULD HONESTLY SHUT IT DOWN. NOW WHILE WE WERE STANDING AT THE ENTRANCE TO TYMBER SKAN TODAY, WE WITNESSED A LARGE GROUP OF MEN GATHERED IN A CIRCLE JUST ABOUT 30 FEET FROM WHERE WE WERE STANDING. A FIST FIGHT BROKE OUT BETWEEN TWO OF THEM. AS WE WERE LOADING INTO OUR CAR TO GET OUT OF THERE, WE HEARD A GUNSHOT. DEPUTIES LATER TOLD ME THERE WERE ACTUALLY SIX GUNSHOTS FIRED. BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A VICTIM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE FOR US IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
