Three people remain in the hospital Sunday after a shooting in Columbus, Ohio Saturday injured them and killed three others.

Authorities said six people in total were shot, three of whom were killed. Two were pronounced dead at the scene, and the third was taken to an area hospital and died there.

Those who were killed were identified as 27-year-old Malachi Pee, 18-year-old Da'ondre Bullock, and 26-year-old Garcia Dixon Jr.

One of the victims is in critical condition, and two others are stable. Police said they are all expected to survive.

A neighbor, who did not wish to have their face shown on camera, shared a video with WSYX showing the terrifying moments right after police arrived on the scene.

She says she heard dozens of gunshots and watched as people scream and ran from a nearby business.

I woke up to gunshots, it was like my body was instant and I fell out my bed on my stomach," she said. "I was just praying to god the rounds of shots would stop. It was just so much.

She says, unfortunately, gunfire is common at that intersection because of the large crowds at the nearby businesses. She says this time was much worse than ever before, and that she's scared to step outside most weekends.

"It's just no sleep, no rest since I've been here," she said.

The neighbor says she would like the city to do something about the crowds, because it's just not safe.

As it stands, no suspects have been identified yet.
