'We got a nut running around so I'm protecting my family': Tampa residents take up arms amid killings
Tampa residents staying armed while killer is on the loose
There is safety in numbers.
And weapons.
That's the thinking of some Tampa residents who have been reeling since three people were gunned down in separate instances in the same quiet neighborhood of Seminole Heights for no apparent reason.
“It’s scary,” Sarah Hamilton told ABC News through tears, as she unloaded brown bagged groceries from a pickup truck.
So far, few connections have been found between the victims, other than the proximity of the crime scenes to one another and the fact that they appear to have been alone when they were shot to death.
For Hamilton, every day passed like an eternity, waiting alone in her house -- just steps from two of the three slayings.
Fear is so palpable here that Hamilton has changed up her routine, doing errands in the daylight and never alone.
She also refuses to leave home to feed or let her dog Bosco relieve himself unless she or her partner are packing a gun.
“We won’t even go into the backyard without [the gun],” Hamilton said. “I won’t even let my dog [outside] to go to the bathroom.”
