"I had just went in the house, talking to my brother, and I would say two minutes later we heard all eight shots. I came out here, because my nephew was walking through the park with his friends. When I got out here, that's when I saw the kids laying there," Haywood Three weeks ago, 13 people, including a 3-year-old boy, were shot while at a park in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.
