"I'm appalled who would even do something like that", said Ronisha Harris, the homeowner.

She's beyond angry her home and family were targeted in this shooting she says for no apparent reason. 

"No kid should be woken up on the first day of the new year to gun shooting inside of a house," Harris said.

"It was just brazen just think if we were living here. If our house wasn't getting remodeled somebody could have possibly been dead," said Harris. 

Video from a neighbor's security camera caught the whole thing on tape. The footage shows two people getting out of a white vehicle. They walk towards a home until they disappear, then moments later you hear what appears to be several gunshots. Bullets pierced through walls and windows of the home.

Portland Police officers found more than 20 casings on scene Harris hopes-- the security footage leads to the arrest of the people responsible. 

"I refuse to let my grandson grow up in these types of circumstances, enough is enough," said Harris.
