ATLANTA — Bullets flew into an Atlanta man's bedroom last Friday afternoon at a home on Tift Avenue.
"It was very frightening, as you can imagine. I was really panicked," Yampier Milian said.
Milian said he was lounging in bed when he heard a loud bang at the door. The man said he looked out of his window and saw a man trying to break in.
“I pulled back the curtain and I saw this guy trying to kick in the back door,” Milian said.
He said the person outside his home noticed him looking out the window.
Moments later, gunfire erupted, and one of the bullets went right through the glass and grazed Milian's arm.
“I noticed that I had blood on my arm and I thought maybe I got shot,” Milian said.

He also suffered other cuts from the flying glass.
Milian's roommate, Genesis Tibbets, told Channel 2 Action News she is grateful she was not home.
"If I would have been here, I would have been shot," Tibbets said.
The roommates believe the man wanted to rob them, but instead ran off. The seemingly random crime left them afraid.
"We can barely go to bed without having to worry about everything. The slightest noise makes us get up, get out of the bed and check," Tibbets said.
A crime map Channel 2 Action News obtained from Atlanta Police Department shows several similar assaults involving guns within just a few blocks of their Adair Park home over the past six months.
With the suspect leaving broken glass, even a bullet, and bad memories behind, the roommates said they might move out.
"We just do not feel safe," Tibbets said.
No arrests have been made, according to APD.
The victim said he did not get a good look at the suspect.
