TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa Police Department is investigating a drive-by shooting that left bullet holes in several apartments, including a 9-year-old's bedroom.

Police were not sure if anyone was being targeted.
Tarajii Mention, 9, was laying in her bed when a bullet pierced her windowsill.
"This is not a place where we should want to raise our kids, because, in a blink of an eye, a child could be dead," said Alisia Bivens, the girl's mother.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported after the shooting. Police are investigating the incident.
However, no witnesses have come forward.
Some residents say it's not the first time bullets have pierced through their walls.
"This is the second time, that's why something's got to give, its got to stop," said Franklin.
