House hit by bullets in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood

PITTSBURGH — Terrifying moments for a family after bullets flew through their home in the middle of the night in Garfield.

Pittsburgh police said the shots rang out just before 1 a.m. Friday along North Graham Street.

The mom said it was so scary. She and her partner were sleeping, and so were her three kids, when they woke up to gunfire.

“We woke up to shots coming through my window, inches away from my head and my partner’s head,” she said. “I’m going around trying to find my kids, make sure they are fine and that’s whenever I called police.”

Police said they found shell casings on the scene and the home shot up. Neighbors are shocked.

“It was scary, very scary,” said Kathy Green.

“It sounded like a machine gun or something like that. Heard about 10 rounds at one time and three after that,” said Jessie Guinn.

Police are investigating if the shooting was targeted. The mother has no idea why someone would do this and is scared to live inside her own home.

“When things like that happen spontaneously, like what do you do, where do you go, how do you protect your kids from something like this,” she said.

The mom said she was just grateful no one was hurt.

“I really do thank god that we all do have our lives, that’s all I can keep thinking about right now,” she said.
