“I started hearing lots of sirens and I finally came out and there were probably about six police vehicles, 8 cars, and an ambulance were all at this house,” said homeowner Jay Magee. “I’m not worried unless it’s something from the outside coming in, and that would of course be a concern.”

Magee said in his nine years living off Broughton Street, the incidents are surprising.
