One woman said she saw workers removing from the apartment what looked like a body wrapped in white sheets. She also saw people crying outside the apartment building and one woman nearly pass out. Another resident, Shirley Cooper, said she recently moved to the apartment complex. “That’s pretty disturbing,” Cooper said. “I’ve been here not even a month. This is not good.” |
