Keisha Lance Bottoms says stray bullet nearly hit nephew who was lying in bed: 'Inches away'

Former White House adviser and Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said her nephew was nearly struck by a stray bullet that entered his bedroom over the weekend.

According to Bottoms, someone fired a gun in the air and the bullet penetrated the wall of the house – coming "inches away" from hitting her nephew who was lying in bed. 

"We are grateful that God protected him. If you have a gun, please act responsibly," she wrote in a tweet on Saturday. "This could be you or your child."

It's unclear who the home belongs to or where it is located.
