Police are investigating a drive-by shooting that left a North Miami Beach home riddled with bullets Monday morning.

North Miami Beach Police officials said the shooting happened at a home in the 15700 block of Northeast 15th Place shortly before 7 a.m.

Several shots were fired into the residence but no injuries were reported, police said.

A 13-year-old boy who lives in the home told NBC 6 he was woken up by the gunfire.

“Someone started shooting and my auntie woke up," he said. "It sounded like 'pow, pow, pow.' We just stayed out here, [police] got our names and stuff, and then we went inside after three hours," he said.

A neighbor, Raul Serrano, tells NBC 6 in Spanish he got home from work Monday morning moments after the shooting happened.

He said he is glad no one was injured, but it is scary to think that this could happen in their neighborhood.

Police did not release any details on the shooter or vehicle involved. No other information was immediately available.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
