PITTSBURGH — A woman in Pittsburgh’s Sheraden neighborhood says she was shaken after waking up Wednesday morning to find bullet holes and damage inside her home on Stanhope Street.
The woman, who asked not to be identified, said her alarm company called her in the middle of the night to ask whether everything was OK.
At the time, she thought it was.
It wasn’t until she walked into her living room Wednesday morning that she discovered shattered glass and several sentimental items damaged.
“These are sentimental pieces to me,” she said. “I’ve had the church people for over 25, 30 years. I’ve had these vases that were gifted to me from my friend.”
She then noticed a bullet hole in the wall above her sofa.
“This is where I sit every day,” she said.
Channel 11 saw another bullet hole through the woman’s front window. She said the shattered glass is what triggered her alarm system and prompted the overnight call from the alarm company.
But she said she never saw or heard anything that made her realize something was wrong during the night.
“I’m very shook up. This is scary,” she said. “I’ve been here 12 years, never had a problem with no one.”
Despite the frightening discovery, the woman said she hopes to remain in her home.
“I’m going to keep the faith, and ask the Lord above to guide me through this,” she said. “I know he got me.”
