Chesapeake police are investigating a shooting that happened early Wednesday morning on Faulk Street.

Police say the victim was sitting in his home when a bullet came through his window.

News 3's Leondra Head went to Faulk Street to learn more about the incident. There, she spoke with a man who said he was the one who was hit by the stray bullet.

"That’s where the bullet hit me, in my foot. It messed up my foot. It’s like a laceration right here," said Alastair Probre, a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy.

Probre says he was shot after the bullet came through his bedroom window around 4:45 a.m.

"We were asleep, knocked out. When I finally realized what was happening, I looked around and saw a hole in the window, a bullet on the ground and blood everywhere. I told my girl to get down because I didn’t know if they were still shooting," Probre said.

Probre says he had just moved to the area a month ago after moving from San Diego. He’s been in the Navy for 19 years.

"I’ve been on a lot of deployments all over the world. But when you come home, more scared here than out there," Probre said.

He was treated for his gunshot wound at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth.

His fiance says she's still shaken up.

"All I saw was a bunch of blood. I didn’t know what was happening or where it was coming from. We heard two more pops," Dani Bonds said.

Probre is not sure who pulled the trigger.

"It could be just a random incident. I guess people shoot a lot in the air here," Probre said.

Chesapeake police have not identified a suspect and are still investigating.
