ALBANY, GA (WALB) -

An Albany family is counting their blessings tonight after someone shot into their home, narrowly missing three children.

Horace Claitt told us his three grandchildren were watching TV in the living room of his Shadowlawn Drive home when a bullet came flying through a wall.

It ended up in a closet.

Claitt says he's thankful no one was hurt.

"Two of them were sitting here in the chair and the sofa and they could have been shot. One of them was setting on the side almost where the bullet came. She could have been shot. It was real bad," said Claitt.

Police are looking for a black man who was wearing a gray jogging suit.

If you have any information on this case, you're asked to call Crimestppers at 436-TIPS.
