UPDATE 4/22/16 @ 11:05 p.m.

DUNBAR, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Home is normally a haven for play for kids living on 18th Street in Dunbar.

"We all hang out here and play basketball and stuff," neighbor Kendra Bowling said.

But, Bowling says, her sense of innocence was shattered Friday, the moment she heard that one of her friends was shot.

"Nobody understands what happened," Bowling said. "Especially not with kids, teenagers."

Dunbar Police say a man, about 18 years old, took an accidental bullet to the chest.

Police believe his injuries are not life-threatening. But, Kendra says, a firsthand look at first responders threatened her friends' peace of mind.

"I know everyone's scared now," Bowling said. "It's going to take awhile for everyone to come back around."

The threat is all too real for parents, as well.

"It's kind of unnerving," neighbor Pam Brotherton said. "I have a young child that likes to play in the yard, and there's several young children in the neighborhood now, too, so you worry about what's happening and what's going on."

For Brotherton, it's enough to make her keep an even closer eye on her little one.

"We usually try to be out here when he's playing anyway," Brotherton said. "Have to be a little more cautious."

Police say they are still trying to track down the person responsible for shooting the young adult.
