"My dad was out there because he was home when the guy ran into the house. I guess he was hiding behind our neighbor behind us in the backyard. My dad noticed him in the yard, so he went to get the cops and in that time he went into our house," the resident said.

The resident, who wished to remain anonymous, is at the evacuation center in the Whitcomb High School gym along with her parents and the six other neighbors who have been displaced while the situation unfolds.
