A Kissimmee couple discovered their home riddled with bullet holes on New Year's Day in a startling event. According to a FOX 35 Orlando report, the pair, who have chosen to remain anonymous for safety reasons, found two bullets inside their house on Pawnee Trail, though the husband recalls hearing six shots. The Osceola Sheriff's Office has confirmed their response to the incident. "We have grandkids that we watch on occasion here and that's where they sleep, and it doesn't really give you a safe feeling," the husband expressed in the interview, underscoring the threat to family safety.
The account of the damage included windows shattered by gunfire, with one bullet penetrating the bedroom window where a bed and a crib for the grandchildren stand. As per FOX 35 Orlando, the husband stated, "We have babies here sometimes — and it was literally at mattress level." The couple spent New Year's Eve away from home after hearing some shots and only discovered the extent of the damage upon their return. "There was glass all over the front here, on the bed, on the floor," according to the husband's testimony.
The homeowners have since handed over the found projectiles to the authorities despite being unable to locate the third bullet. Circumstantially, they have assessed that the gunfire originated from a direction perilously close to their home's gas line and a sizeable propane tank, emphasizing the potential magnitude of the risk. Echoing a sentiment of responsible gun ownership, the husband mentioned in a statement reported by AOL, "People need to understand that there is others around you and you could end up killing or injuring. I'm OK with them shooting guns, but take it to the range, be safe about it."
Meanwhile, the investigation by the Osceola Sheriff's Office continues as they solicit tips and information from the public. Anyone who knows the case can contact the Osceola Sheriff's Office or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).
