The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office is calling the shooting a “heinous crime.”

One woman, Jessica Sadley, lives across the street from where deputies say the shooting happened.
She was asleep at the time, in bed with her husband and two-year-old son, when she was woken up by her nine-year-old daughter. A man, dripping blood, was banging on the back door.
“I believe he was shot… it was just chaos. He was like, someone just shot up the house,” she told WPTV.
Sadley immediately called 911.
She then realized a stray bullet had gone through her window into her bedroom, just feet away from her and her family.
“It was terrifying,” Sadley said. “The only thing that really saved us was the way he, the shooter, was angled.”
