by Alyssa Spirato  A home is a place where you're meant to feel safe and secure. But for one Rossville woman, she says that's no longer the case.It was Sunday evening when the worries began to flood Lorena Parker's mind.We heard a loud boom. Like a cherry bomb or a loud firecracker but it was more of a boom. My husband came into the living room and he looked around but he didn't see anything, says Parker.But two days later they did discover something. They found evidence that a bullet grazed through their home and ricocheted into the ground.I have seen many people on news stories talking about their homes being shot into or on their porch or something like that, says Parker.The damage may not be easy to spot on the outside, but inside, the damage is clear. Wood shavings are scattered over the living room carpet, the curtains are shredded and if you look close enough, you can see through to the outside.The bullet's still in the carpet somewhere or in the ground somewhere. It's still in our house. That's what makes me so uncomfortable too, says Parker.Parker says the worst part is the person she thinks is responsible isn't coming forward.When asked, Parker says she knew who it was. Parker added, I honestly know who it is. NewsChannel9 followed up with a question if she just wanted them to come forward. She responded, I just want them to come forward and be honest. Honesty is the best policy they used to say. Like I want to say one more time, if they would have just only came over and checked on us and said are you alright? We made a mistake. That would have been all there to it.NewsChannel9 spoke to Catoosa County Sheriff Gary Sisk who says an officer is planning to return to the home in the next few days to conduct an investigation.
