MIAMI (WSVN) - Police are investigating after bullets flew through the front window of a home in Miami.
City of Miami Police responded to the home along the 700 block of Northwest 34th Street at around 9 p.m., Tuesday.
According to homeowner Henry Villagran, someone drove by the home and fired several shots into his home. He said he just started to doze off when the shots rang out.
“The bullet came from the back of that wall, it hit this wall and my daughter was having dinner on this side,” Villagran said. “Luckily, I’m thanking the Lord that the bullet never went through.”
Villagran’s five children and his wife were also home at the time the shots were fired, but no injuries have been reported.
“I was kind of sleeping, and she came to my room screaming like, ‘Hey, someone is shooting,'” said Villagran.
“Fortunate enough, no one was hurt, but we are investigating the motive behind the shooting, and we’re asking anyone with information to call us,” City of Miami Police spokesperson Kenia Fallat said. “An unknown person or persons approached the home, shot at it numerous times and took off.”
7News cameras captured bullet holes on the home’s front window.
“It happened so fast that there was no time to react,” Villagran said.
The family said a black four-door vehicle drove by the home when the shots were fired, and one of their children was in the front yard when the bullets flew.
Villagran said he’s lived at the home for 40 years and has never witnessed anything like this.
The shooting remains under investigation.
