News 3 is following through on a shooting that happened over the weekend near ODU’s campus.
Police say they responded to the shooting near West 37 th Street and Elkhorn Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. on Sunday.
As police continue to investigate, we spoke with two ODU students who were a little too close to the action. One told us he dodged a literal bullet in his sleep after shots were fired.
“I woke up around 5 a.m. and I just see a hole in the wall and I say… ‘Well that’s kinda crazy,'” explained ODU junior Jake Owens.

He says a bullet entered the side of the home where his bedroom was and exited through a window shutter on the second story.
On Monday, Owens showed us the spot where he says a bullet flew through his bedroom wall, just feet from where his head was — a close call he slept through.
“It was about three feet above my head that night,” explained Owens.
