Two young girls got the fright of their lives after their father told them to hide in the car while he checked their home in Petersburg, Virginia, on June 21.
Moments later, the girls heard shots being fired.
The family told reporters they had noticed something was wrong when they arrived home after a trip to the store.
When her father came out of the house, all the child could hear was shooting.
“Then one of the boys ran over there, and two came out here, and that boy shot at my dad, and my dad shot back,” she told WTVR.
No one was hit, but the bullets hit the home and a neighbor’s home.
Police found an important piece of evidence at the scene.
“A gun was found at the front door, whoever was one of the persons leaving out the house, dropped his gun,” the girls’ grandmother said.
Two Xbox video game systems and two television sets are now missing, according to the family.
