Two of the occupants, 15-year-old Danielle Hilton and 18-year-old Brendon Gibson, later died at ECMC. The other occupants remain seriously injured.
Abena Brown was in her home across the street Thursday when she heard police telling the people in the crashed car, "Put your hands up."
"And that's when I heard them tearing and breaking the windows, trying to get the people out of the car," Brown said.
Another neighbor, Samyah Nelson, said she saw police with their guns drawn initially. "Once they realized everybody was in the car, they started taking everybody out."
"It's just sad," Brown said. "I just wish the teenagers would have pulled over. It's just real sad."
Keiana Blue, who also lives nearby, said: "As a young generation... we've got to do better. It's only leading one way — either dead or in jail."
The Buffalo Police Department and the Attorney General's Office are investigating.
