Orlando Sentinel reports that numerous bullets flew into the home in what police are calling a gang retaliation drive-by shooting. The name of the intended target has not been released, but investigators said a “gang member” lived at the home.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said the incident is among one of the many shootings that stem from a rivalry between the gangs, “438” and “All Family No Friends.”
