An Atlanta community is mourning the death of a recent high school graduate who was killed by a stray bullet while asleep in her bedroom.
Jessica Daniels, 18, was at home with her mother and grandfather early Thursday morning when three stray bullets came flying through the wall with one fatally striking the teen in the chest, according to police.
"And then I heard my daughter in the back scream, 'Jessica's been shot,' and I just lost it. I'd rather for it to be me than my granddaughter," he added. "Our victim was lying in bed when she was shot a single time and killed on the scene," Atlanta Police Department Lt. Andrea Webster told reporters Thursday."We're not sure if the house was targeted. … We can't think of any reason why she may have been a target."
