Both her grandchildren were in the living room with her when those bullets started flying.
) - A Summerdale family is counting their blessings after narrowly missing a bullet that came straight through their living room window.
Terri Collier says the stunned family scrambled for cover after they heard several gunshots Sunday afternoon. Nothing like this had ever happened to her before and she hopes it never happens again.“Within probably 15-20 minutes or so...pow, pow, pow the glass,” Collier said. “I look, my husband said what is that? I said a bullet.”“We sat down right away and got out of the way. He kept shooting, he kept firing,” Collier said.
The bullet shattered the entire window leaving shards of glass all over the ground. Deputies with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office went out to the area afterward. But they didn’t find anyone.“We just want to make awareness, you know,” Collier pleaded. “Please check your areas before. Just a fear, it was just terrifying.”The incident has left her family shaken up but also grateful.
“Just kept thinking was there going to be more. All we could think about was just stay down, stay down, please stop. Stop firing. We definitely were shook up,” she said.
