That's when police say Elijah Miles, Crosby's new boyfriend, came into the home and fired.

"If he shot a little bit closer up, he would have shot my grandson," Whitefield said. "It grazed across my stomach and entered my groin and shattered ruptured my artery and shattered my right femur. I bled internally and had to have a blood transfusion."

Police have arrested Crosby and Miles on Wednesday.
