MIAMI - A mother is relieved her family is okay after a bullet hit her window near her baby’s high chair in her high-rise apartment Sunday night in Miami.
Gunshots reportedly were fired from a neighboring apartment building when a bullet hit the window of Vivian Olodun's 45th-floor apartment. Her daughter’s empty high chair was covered in glass shards where the bullet shattered her apartment window, according to the Miami Herald.
Olodun's two daughters, ages 2 and 3, were in another room playing when the incident occurred, and a police spokesperson told the Miami Herald that no one was injured.
