It still strikes me as an odd thing to be talking about, considering what happened. But then again, I could certainly be wrong-- the second link about the story has the same quote, but framed this way:
"She said sheriff's patrols have increased and residents are more vigilant.
"We don't want to attract any more attention that what we're already getting. This is our little piece of heaven," she said."
Which makes it sound a lot more like your interpretation, rather than linking it with, 'the blood on the road is upsetting neighbors'.
