By Jerry Askin  There's still no word on the whereabouts of the men police say are responsible for shooting and killing a man Thursday morning. The murder happened during a home invasion on, O'Rear street in East Chattanooga.We hear gunshots daily and almost nightly, says Terri Scott.And Thursday morning, Terri Scott heard gunshots again.She lives only two homes down from where the shooting happened on O'Rear Street. The same home where police say a man was gunned down at about 5:00 Thursday morning. Investigators believe this was not a random shooting and that two men forced their way inside the home, killing a man inside.He might have been targeting that person and it could have came this way. My grandchild could have been here, says Scott.Police say the victim didn't live at the home, and was was visiting a friend when he was shot.  Thursday, family and friends of the victim surrounded the scene where the 29-year old man, they say goes by BG, was killed.  Neighbors say they can't believe this shooting happened so close to home.Bullets have no eyes. They could be randomly shooting out here one day at a certain person and accidentally hit me or one of these kids out here in these neighborhood. There are a lot of kids out here in the neighborhood, says Delbert Vaghn.Police spent all day Thursday trying to figure out why the man was shot...and while the suspects remain on the loose, neighbors say they've had enough of all the crime. People just need to care more and be more aware of what's happening, says Scott.Anyone with information is asked to call the Chattanooga Police Department at 423-698-2525.
