“We just moved to the neighborhood from East Memphis,” Will Thornton said. “And not that there was always police sirens, but we lived right off Poplar. So there’s always activity. There’s lots of people. So, when we moved out here it was kind of eerie, just the quietness to be honest. So, when you start hearing sirens, you know something’s up.”
