Canton Township homeowner speaks out after granddaughter injured in shooting: "It's bullet holes everywhere"
Annie Stephens says she is grateful she and her 1-year-old survived a shooting early Thursday morning that left her Canton Township home riddled with bullets.
Authorities say that the toddler, who was shot twice in the leg, is currently in stable condition.
"Shots just started ringing throughout my whole entire house ... It's bullet holes everywhere," said Stephens.
Canton police and firefighters were sent to the home at about 12:57 a.m. on Old Michigan Avenue, southwest of the U.S. 12 and I-275 interchange. Responding police officers provided medical treatment until the fire department took over and transported the child to a hospital.
On Thursday afternoon, Stephens showed CBS News Detroit the aftermath of the shooting, with several bullet holes found in the ceiling, walls, windows and refrigerator. Stephens says several people were inside, and her granddaughter was standing in the hallway when the gunfire erupted.
Authorities say the shooting was a targeted incident and that there is no danger to the public. Although no suspect has been taken into custody, Stephens believes the shooting may have something to do with her son, who no longer lives there. Police have not confirmed a motive or identified who may have been targeted.
Now Stephens worries about whether she'll be safe in her own home.
"I do want to be safe. I don't have anything to do with this," she said. "I don't wanna have to hide and duck and be scared that Imma be shot up or my dog shot up because of whatever they're going through."
The Canton Police Department detective bureau is investigating. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Canton police.
