A woman and her 7-month-old son were grazed by bullets when someone shot into their DeKalb County home Monday night, according to authorities.
DeKalb police were called to a house on Wildginger Run in the Snapfinger area around 9:30 p.m., police said. Neighbors who spoke to Channel 2 Action News described hearing a volley of gunshots, something they said was unusual for the area.
“At this time, we believe that shots were fired outside the home when two victims inside were grazed,” police spokesperson Officer Elise Wells said.
At least four bullet holes could be seen in the home’s siding, and a window on the front door appeared to be shattered from gunfire, according to Channel 2. The woman and her baby were taken to a hospital and are expected to recover, police said.
