“I woke up to my wife and daughter screaming, and she said that the bullet come through her room,” said Richard Hoffman, whose home was shot.

Hoffman lives next door to the home that was targeted during the shooting.

“We get up and investigated. And sure enough, there were bullet holes that traveled through the whole house,” he said.

Damage shows where a bullet appeared to have gone through the room his daughter was in. It blew a hole in the other wall, through the hallway, and into the ceiling above their garage where it hit a water line.

“Water was running everywhere in our house. I had to get the water shut off. Thankfully, I got a plumber right away,” he said.

Fortunately, nobody was injured during the drive-by shooting. Moncks Coroner police are investigating the case and ask that anyone with security video of what happened to contact them at 843-719-7930.

“People don’t think about where that bullet goes if they miss their target. I know what happens when you miss a Target. You regret your actions sometimes,” said Hoffman.

A suspect has not been identified or in custody as of Thursday afternoon.
