"We thought we heard firecrackers,so me and my son looked out the third-floor window and we heard gunshots. We saw the explosion. I actually saw a black SUV come down Laurel Street,cross over Dexter,looked like it hit a police car. And they were just shooting at that. We probably heard 60 gunshots," one Watertown witness told NewsCenter 5's John Atwater.
