A stray bullet shatters a woman's patio door and ends up about an inch from where she was hitting. That woman spoke only to Local 12 about the near miss. 

Kessey Carpette moved with her family from her home in Brooklyn, New York to Cincinnati escape the violence and she never thought she could become a victim within her own home here. "If it was a couple of minutes, even if I was laying down here and hearing the gunshots, I could have still got hit."

Kessey uses the room as her private space. "Reading my Bible or going through my coupons that I do everything right here." And right where her head usually is, there is now a bullet hole. Police say she's very fortunate to be alive. Just moment before the bullet flew through the window, she got up to get her daughter. When she got back in the room, a shot shattered the glass. "I put my daughter down and we actually crawled outside." 

She says she's still in shock. Kessey and her daughter were fine but, "She wanted to know what did we do wrong for people to shoot at us." 

Police say it was simply a stray bullet. On Wednesday night witnesses say more than a dozen shots were fired in the area around these apartment buildings. One man was hit in the shoulder. He's going to be okay. 

Witnesses say two men tried to run away and jumped on a ledge. They ran onto a car, crushing the roof and shattering the windshield. Police have not charged anyone with the shooting that injured one man and nearly killed the woman. She credits God with her survival. "I praise God and thank God for letting me see another day." 

She's lived in the apartment for about four years. She says only two years ago the landlord started representing to some Cincinnati State college students and she says that is when the problems began. 

A 17 year old from Louisville has been arrested on charges of improper possession and handling of a firearm but no one has been charged yet in Flannigan's shooting.
