“I was just lying on the couch and all of a sudden I hear this 'ping, ping, ping, ping,'” she said. “I dropped to the ground. I rolled right off the couch and just laid flat on the floor."
Reith doesn't live close to Angle Lake Park but said the bullets sounded very close. She’s heard gunshots from her property before. This time, she saw it coming.
“I could actually see it traveling, skipping the water,” she said.
