PHILADELPHIA - A typical night at home turned into one of terror when a Philadelphia woman's home got caught in the crossfire of a shootout this past weekend.

What we know:

Tina Sedziafa says she was sitting on her couch when she heard what she initially thought were fireworks late Saturday night.

However, it turns out they were actually gunshots from a shooting that erupted nearby.

Her home, which is located on the 2300 block of Pierce Street, was struck multiple times by stray bullets.

What they're saying:

"Then, I honestly heard what sounded like a ring or a coin dropping onto my hardwood floor, and I was like, oh that's really weird," Sedziafa said.

"I looked up, and I could literally see on my wall the two bullet holes and at that point I was like, oh my gosh, I got down on the floor because I didn't know if the shooting is going to continue."

Luckily, Sedziafa was not injured, but police say a 16-year-old boy suffered a graze wound during the shootout.

An investigation is still underway.
