Woman’s home shot up: ‘I immediately hit the ground’
The homeowner, who did not want her name used for this article, said she and her loved ones hit the ground when they heard gunfire outside. “I heard gunshots, and I immediately hit the ground,” she said.
“I feel grateful and thankful because I’m covered and still standing,” the homeowner said. “Don’t nothing stand against a child of God.”
She called police immediately after the shooting. Detectives have not said what may have led up to the gunfire.
“It’s bigger and better ways to solve issues,” she said. “Everything doesn’t need a deadly reaction to it, and you’ll still be okay. There were times people fought things out and were still able to talk about it the next day, but these days you can’t fight anything out, they want to kill.”

Investigators have not said what led up to the gunfire or whether the family was targeted.
It’s unclear how many people were involved or if any of the suspects have been identified from surveillance video.
Police also have not released information about the type of weapon used or whether any nearby homes or vehicles were struck by bullets.
