Patricia Lee, has been running her business for 30 years and Mother's Day is one of the busiest days of the year for her."Today is a little busy with Mother's Day tomorrow.

I think, after a while, you kind of get immune to everything but it's so sad because this is a small business and this is what keeps them running and it's hard to keep a business when crazy stuff is happening here," Carrillo said."Every city has its share of good and bad. I think, for the most part, don't look at it like that.
