“There was an angel watching over us for sure,” Milligan said.

Milligan said she lives in the home with her 2-month-old son, Joshua. She said she has no idea why anyone would target her home.

Butler City police told Channel 11 that just after 5 p.m. Tuesday someone came by the home, shot through the front door three times, ran around the back and fired more shots at the house from there.

“If we were here, I'd be dead. My baby would be dead,” Milligan said.

Officers said they have leads on a suspect, but wouldn’t comment on a possible motive.
