Drive-by shooting floods Titusville apartment, narrowly misses children

TITUSVILLE, Fla. - A Titusville family is speaking out after a drive-by shooting tore through their apartment, puncturing a water line and flooding their home. 

The family says the gunfire narrowly missed children asleep inside, and they still have no answers nearly a month later.

What we know:

The shooting happened while the single mom and her three children were inside sleeping. One child was in the living room, just feet away from the window that was hit.

Most of the home’s physical damage has already been repaired, but the emotional toll remains. Hall says she is still trying to process the randomness of the violence and how no one’s been arrested yet.

"You can’t even be in your own home and be asleep and be safe anymore," Hall said. "I don’t know who would want to kill me or kill my kids, but it’s absolutely insane. Why would they just randomly shoot into our apartment? Why would this happen?"

Despite the damage, Hall kept one damaged item as a symbol of protection: a picture of Jesus that was struck by a bullet.

"My savior is my Lord and Jesus Christ, and he kept us safe and that bullet through the picture is a reminder of how much he cares," she said.

What we don't know:

The motive behind the attack is still a mystery. Hall says she has no idea why her family was targeted or if the shooters simply had the wrong address.
