While investigating the home this morning, police said they smelled gas. During the shooting, one of the bullets went through the gas meter.

She told Gehlbach that she believes it was random or her family was mistakenly targeted because they moved into the house only three weeks ago.
Speaking with neighbors on Wednesday afternoon, Fernandes learned that those living there don’t believe the children inside were targets.
Neighbors told Channel 2 Action News the family in the home had only lived there for a few weeks, not even a whole month.
“I was sleeping in my bed, so all of a sudden I just heard third rapid gunfire,” one neighbor said, imitating the sound of the gun. “It was like a war zone.”
Neighbors said gunshots are typical in the neighborhood, which is right off of Interstate 20, but Wednesday morning’s events were different.
APD told Fernandes they have not had any previous reports of shots fired at the home on Fair Street.
“Normally you just hear a shot, like one or two shots here and there, but it’s never like, you know, consistently,” a neighbor said.
At the house, Fernandes said she could see at least 45 bullet holes.
The Atlanta Police Gang Unit is investigating the incident, officials said.
Police said they are searching for four suspects, who have not been identified, and a white Kia Soul they drove away in.
A GoFundMe has been set up for the family here.
