NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A shooting investigation is underway after someone opened fire at an apartment window, hitting a woman inside early Friday morning.

According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, a woman was inside her apartment off Skyline Ridge Drive with her teenage son when someone knocked on one of the apartment windows. When she got up to investigate, someone outside fired multiple shots through the window.

The woman was in her bedroom, and was hit in the hip, police said. She was taken to Skyline Medical Center and is expected to survive, MNPD said.

Next-door neighbor Pamela Hester said she heard five or six gunshots.

“That’s scary. I was just telling my daughter and a couple of my neighbors; that I’m scared for my kids to come outside and play now. You never know. You don’t,” Hester said.

MNPD detectives are looking at security footage to identify the suspect, who is only described as wearing a dark-colored hoodie.
