A Greek family is in shock from a stray bullet that hit their home.

A family in Greece have experienced gratitude that all is well after a lost bullet penetrated their home. Homeowner Victoria Hess said: "It's very, very scary to imagine what could have happened to my family just because someone started an argument."

Greece police say the incident is being investigated as part of a shooting that happened Saturday night at a house party at Lyncourt Park. Officers believe an 18-year-old young man was shot at the party, but he and other witnesses are refusing to cooperate with police.

"These kinds of parties had never gotten to this level before, so when my neighbor said she was shocked, I went over to her place, and that's when I heard the gunshots ring out," Hess said. "It was five or six shots in a row."

Hess returned home after police arrived and was cleared to return. "That's when we discovered that the bullet came through our window and went through an interior wall," she said.

That wall led into her roommate's room, and the bullet hit his chair and then the monitor. "What would happen if my kids were sitting on that couch, if my cat was sitting on top of the couch, if my husband was sitting in front of the wall that the bullet penetrated," Hess said.

"It penetrated the back of the computer chair that our neighbor usually sits in. He just luckily wasn't sitting in that chair at the time, but it could have hit him in the back of the head."

Hess wants people to weigh their actions and how they might accidentally cause harm. "You don't have to live in a dangerous neighborhood. Something like this can happen anywhere," she said. "I just hope people realize that in these types of conflicts, it's not just the target they're targeting that can get hurt."

A neighborhood meeting will be held tomorrow at 6 p.m. at Shorecliff Drive and Summit Hill to discuss the shooting that occurred and neighborhood safety.
