The family said they could have woken up to different news.
In fact, the night before, the mom – who was sick with the flu – told her husband to sleep in the guest bedroom for the night. Based on the bullet's trajectory, had the man stayed in his bedroom, he could have been hit.

The family believes the shots were fired from across the lake.
"My presumption is that instead of shooting up into the air, they were trying to shoot towards the lake. But, due to the recoil when you fire, maybe they fired it a little bit higher," the homeowner told FOX 35.
What's next:
The Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed to FOX 35 that they were called out to this residence to investigate.
No arrests have been made at this time.
