A stray bullet narrowly missed a 5-month-old Tennessee girl when it struck the crib she was sleeping in.

A Knoxville family said they heard a popping sound and then their daughter Brynn Manifold started to cry.

When they checked on her they saw pieces of wood chipped away and then a bullet hole.

“As soon as I hung up the phone with 911 I think that’s when it hit me and I started just hugging her and sobbing,” the baby’s mother Sarina Manifold said.

Police are investigating.
