A reckless act of gunfire has Tara Murphy and her family living in fear.









“We can't do it anymore,” said Murphy. “I can't raise my family in that type of situation."









On February 1, a fight turned into a gun battle outside of the Up the Way bar, on East 26th Street, with up to 20 shots fired. The incident was captured on a cell phone camera.









"It is absolutely terrifying,” said Tara. “I mean, in the country, you hear something like that, it's like, ‘ok that's a car backfire.' But in the city, that's like, did someone just die?”









Last Wednesday, the Nuisance Bar Task Force closed the bar down following an overnight raid in which weapons and crack cocaine were recovered. According to Erie police, they've had a total of eight gun related incidents surrounding the bar since March of 2014.









"There's an absolute urgent need to get out,” said Murphy. “We can't live there anymore."









Tara has started an account at www.gofundme.com to help pay for her family to move.









“Our goal is to move back to Ohio,” said Murphy. “Back to where my boyfriend is from, living in the country where there is peace and none of this gun violence that's around here."
