Multiple Riverdale residents have been impacted by the Door Kick Challenge, which is going viral on Tiktok.
The challenge involves kids go up to strangers' doors and trying to kick them in.
“It sounded as though somebody had shot something at my door," said Judy, a Riverdale resident whose door was damaged.
“I have chronic heart disease, I'm a senior citizen I was terrified," said Judy.
Just days after breaking the bottom of Judy's door, three other houses in the neighborhood were hit.
“It could’ve been their grandkids behind the door. Would they do that to their grandparents?" said Judy.
Over the weekend, an 11-year-old boy was shot and killed in Texas after participating in this challenge.
