HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It is not how the first days of motherhood are supposed to be.
Just days after leaving the hospital following the birth of her healthy baby girl, a 27-year-old mother had to go right back.
“She’s in a lot of pain, and she’s traumatized,” Alexandia Burt, the baby’s grandmother, said.
Houston police confirm they are investigating a shooting at the Aubrey apartments on Crescent Park Drive in west Houston.
It was after 3 a.m. on April 4th when bullets sailed into the new mother’s apartment. Burt counted at least 8 bullet holes. One hit her daughter in the arm, narrowly missing the baby.
“Thank God it didn’t hit my grandbaby, and I also thank God that she’s still here with me today because I could have lost her,” Burt said.
Burt’s daughter was treated at the hospital and released.
HPD said no suspect description is available and that an investigation is underway.
