Police have also not released any identifying information on the three suspects, other than the car they drove.
"I heard gunshots, which I thought were fireworks. And I saw the – I don't want to say the spark, but like the flash. And then the car sped off," said Jacky Rodriguez.
Rodriguez lives down the street with her daughter. She tells FOX 13 News she used to think her neighborhood was quiet.
"It’s just scary. I have my daughter. And, I don't know, it’s just really close to home," she said.
Since Algona has such a small police department, they are receiving help in the investigation from the Coalition of Small Police Agencies Major Crimes Unit, as well as Washington State Patrol.
Algona Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.
