TACOMA, Wash. A family in Tacoma feels lucky to have survived what appeared to be a random shooting during which three gunmen fired round after round into the family’s home while they were sleeping.

The family says the shooters filled their home with so many bullets, it’s a miracle nobody was killed.

“I just woke up to explosions everywhere. It felt like something fell off the wall, and like, stabbed my chest,” said Emma Taylor, who was hit by gunfire. “That’s when my foot was bleeding everywhere.”
