Story out of Golden Gate Estates, Florida:
A Collier County teen and her family are living in fear over stray bullets.
14-year-old Deborah Ledesma said when she heard shots being fired near her home on 37th Avenue Northeast last week, she was concerned that her mom was too close to the sliding glass door. When Deborah lifted her arm to put around her mother's shoulder to move her away, a bullet shattered the glass and hit her in the hand, stopping just below her left ring finger.
Deputies arrested 21-year-old Harold Lanham, who lives in a property behind Ledesma's house. He was charged with shooting a missile into a dwelling.
According to an incident report, deputies determined that although a berm of sand about 3 feet high was in place, intended to stop bullets for Lanham's backyard target practice, Ledesma's home was just beyond in a direct line of fire.
Ledesma said she understands the law, but believes that people who use their property for a shooting range should take extra precautions. "Before you shoot randomly, you need to make sure you're not going to get somebody else's property," she said. "Now every time I stand next to the window, I think 'where could a bullet come from?'"
