The home of a Muslim family was targeted in response to the Paris attacks.
Orange County resident Amir Elmasri showed WFTV the hole where a bullet passed through his garage door and into the master bedroom. Elmasri said that he found the bullet in a dresser drawer in the bedroom.
According to Orange County deputies, evidence gathered at the scene suggested at least three bullets were fired at the home. The shooting was thought to have occurred between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Sunday when the family was away.
The police reported noted that the victim “expressed concern and believes this incident may be retaliation toward him for the recent terrorist attacks in France because he is Muslim.”
“We are as peaceful as any American family,” Elmasri insisted. “I mean, why would you shoot at my garage?”
Elmasri pointed out that his family was now living in fear.
“They feel unsafe now,” he explained. “Why somebody is shooting at us, what did we do?”
