“What goes up must come down,” Bottoms said in a tweet.

Bottoms said an individual fired a gun in the air, more than likely miles away, that ended up coming through one of her family member’s home into her nephew’s room.

According to Bottoms, his bed was just inches away.

She said that she and her family are grateful God protected him.
