ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — A gunman opened fire on a car and a home in Altamonte Springs while three adults and three children were inside, investigators said.
"I don't want to leave. I love this neighborhood, but if my wife and my kids are not safe here, I have to go," the homeowner said.
The shooting happened late Sunday at a home on Keystone Avenue and Main Street in Altamonte Springs.
The homeowner, who did not want to be identified, said the situation was “pure chaos” as the home was riddled with bullets.

“(It) sounded like my son’s video game. That's what it sounded like, and there was just a lot of smoke and debris in the house from the bullets,” he said.
The man said he has lived in the home for three years and his wife and children, ages 11, 15 and 20, are now terrified to stay there. He also has a 3-year-old grandson.
“Nothing happens in this neighborhood at all. Nothing,” said the victim.
Police said the drive-by shooting was not random, and that the family was targeted, but the motive is unknown.
"Whoever did this had no heart at all. Animals," said the homeowner. "I hop in my bed, (and) I hear a bang, and then I hear a ‘Pop, pop, pop, pop!’ I know it was fast but it felt like a long time. It was like the shots didn't stop coming through."
Neighbors said they are glad that no one was injured.
"It was consistent, ‘Bang, bang, bang!’ More than six," said neighbor Jazzy Martinez.
"I can't even explain it. They don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on. It's just unreal," said the homeowner. "I just dropped to the floor and crawled. To make sure my kids were alright. That's it."
Residents said they haven’t seen much violent crime in their neighborhood, and they are scared for their children who play in a small nearby park.
“It is dangerous. I mean, like I said, there is a lot of children here, so you worry more about the children," Martinez said.
The shooter remains at large.
