No one was injured, but the gunfire appeared to startle reporters at the scene, according to WJTV.
"Did somebody just really drive by and ... that was a gunshot!" a reporter exclaimed.
"Well you can see what I'm saying!" Stokes responded. "Here at this time, you're hearing gunshots and those kinds of things, because that's the nonsense that's taking place. We must have a police presence."
