"It makes you think twice especially doing something like this, that's why you have to be aware of surroundings and that's what I do," Battaglia said.
Christopher Centeno says he's worried his family in the area will get caught in the crossfire.
"That means there are gang members around here and I live 3 blocks away so it's kinda scary," Centeno said.
