Police are also searching for a person of interest, who they believe witnessed the shooting.
"He was not the shooter, but we do need to locate him," said Brittany Duncan with the Woodstock Police Department.
Residents said they were concerned to hear about the shooting in an area where they thought they could escape crime.
"Wow, that's something that's usually not around here. Not this far up, it's not," Nicole Woody said.
Woody said she carries a gun to protect herself.
"In my family, we all carry so I think everyone should do that in order to protect themselves from stuff like that," she said.
Police are asking anyone with information on the shooting to contact them.
