A Forest Park mother was struck in the thigh by a bullet someone fired into her apartment on Saturday evening while she played board games with her son.
Ashle Teddleton told Channel 2 Action News it appears someone pointed a weapon over a fence and fired at least three shots through her patio window at the Laurel Pointe Apartments off Morrow Road near Forest Park. One of the bullets hit her in the thigh and is still lodged there, she told Channel 2.
Teddleton said she is thankful to be alive and happy her son wasn’t hit.
She said she and her son were playing a Ninja Turtles board game at her kitchen table when the shots came through the window.
“It just shattered and once I heard the glass shatter that’s when I knew just to get my son and run,” Teddleton said.
She said she has no idea why someone would shoot inside her apartment.
“They need to be caught. There’s no way they need to be running around this complex still,” she said.
Clayton County police told Channel 2 that someone shot into two other apartments that night but did not provide any information about a suspect.
