MOTHER DISCOVERS 8 BULLET HOLES IN CHILD’S BEDROOM
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — A family in East Knoxville is grateful to be alive after a terrifying event Sunday night. Lisa Salazar lives close to the county line and says it’s not uncommon to hear fireworks this time of year, but this time, it wasn’t fireworks.
She and her family have lived in East Knoxville for about a year after moving from the other side of town. They wanted to find a home to rent instead of an apartment.
“It’s pretty quiet,” Salazar said. “I feel like, especially the Hillside Street, everybody is here to help you.”
On Sunday, her 11-year-old son Hunter was at a friend’s house and stayed the night. They all had big plans for the Fourth of July but those plans quickly changed.
“We went to bed around 10:30. My fiancé said it was like 2:30 in the morning, and I woke him up. It sounded like something fell, like a picture fell.” Lisa added, “it might have been 15, 20 minutes later I heard what sounded like two knocks.”
Lisa checked her doorbell cameras, but there was nothing there. So, she went back to bed.
