ODU students said that stray bullets hit their homes as a result of the armed attack that took place throughout the night.

NORFOLK, Va. — News 3 is covering a shooting that occurred over the weekend near the ODU campus.

Police say they responded to a shooting near West 37^This Street and Elkhorn Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday.

While police were investigating, we spoke with two ODU students who got a little too close to the action. One told us he literally dodged a bullet in his sleep after the shooting.

“I woke up around 5 a.m. and saw a hole in the wall and said, ‘This is kind of crazy,'” ODU’s Jake Owens said.

He said a bullet entered the side of the house where the bedroom was located and exited through a window shutter on the second floor.

On Monday, Owens showed us where he said a bullet went through his bedroom wall, just a few feet from where his head was found; which almost fell asleep.

“It was about three feet above my head that night,” Owens explained.

Although it didn’t affect Owens, the bullet woke up his roommate, Aaron Anderson.

“We all heard a bunch of gunshots and it was right there by our house,” Anderson explained.

According to the students, the damage is not that much.

“One of our friends’ truck was parked in the front yard and his truck crashed,” Anderson explained.

They say this isn’t the first time a shooting like this has occurred this close to home.

“This is probably the fourth time this has happened,” Owens explained. “Even if it didn’t happen, there were fights outside in the street and stuff like that. So we’ll definitely be moving closer to campus next year.”

Police tell us the three people killed in Sunday’s shooting were hospitalized and are expected to recover.

Police are still investigating the attack and have not released the names and ages of the injured. They also did not share any potential motive behind the attack.
