After a Detroit teen survived a bullet that pierced her skull and lodged in the bone underneath her left eye when her home was sprayed by gunfire, her family has turned to an online campaign to raise funds to move.

Myonna Lanton, 14, was watching TV and texting her mom that she was looking for the shower gel around 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 14, when shots were fired into her home off on Appoline, off 7 Mile near Outer Drive. A bullet struck the left side of her head, just before her ear canal.

The teen was home with her dad and 18-year-old brother while her mom was at work — Myonna was the only one injured.

Myonna dad's sprang into action. He put pressure on the wound and called police, her mom, Myra Lanton, 38, told the Free Press.

"I thought she just took a shower and went to bed, but when her dad texted me to come home immediately, I knew something was wrong. ... When they told me she was shot ... I couldn't believe it," Myra Lanton said.

"She was at home ... not doing anything and she got shot."

Lanton said that footage captured by a neighbor's surveillance camera showed three men wearing hockey masks, like Jason Vorhees from "Friday the 13th," walking up the street. Two appeared to have been armed.

The trio had fled by the time police arrived, and responding EMS conveyed Myonna to the hospital.

A total of six bullets, two different kinds, were found in the home, Myra Lanton said.

Just a week after her 14th birthday, Lanton said Myonna underwent surgery to remove the bullet, and doctors also worked to reconstruct her nasal passages.

She stayed in the hospital for three days.

"I didn't know what was going to be the outcome ... I thought I was going to have to say goodbye," Lanton said. "But the way (the bullet) went through, it missed everything."

The family said police have not yet taken anyone into custody after the incident, and have not received any word on whether or not there are any leads.

"It's hard for us, knowing they are still out there," Lanton said.

Detroit Police could not immediately be reached for more information.

Coming home after the ordeal, Lanton said, her daughter has been positive about the situation. "She's still trying to be optimistic about the school year, (and) trying to catch up on her grades," she said.

However, Lanton added that Myonna still gets panic attacks and headaches.

"Every time she hears shooting or anything loud, I can tell it really bothers her," she said.

Having lived on their street for three years, Lanton said it was a nice area, but it's gotten worse over time. She added that in summer 2017, their neighbor's house was shot up, and this summer, some folks that live around the corner also had a break-in followed by "a little shooting and scuffle."

"(It's) time for us to leave," she said.

Lanton said they're aiming to raise enough money via a GoFundMe page to move to a new home outside of the city — hopefully in Oak Park, where Myonna goes to school.

They would also like a place where they can bring Myonna's "comfort animal," a mixed Lab named Lady, she added.

"Just try to get basically everything back to normal for her, where she don't have to be in fear of being shot, worry about every time you hear a car pull up or somebody walking by the house," Lanton said.

"I just want her to be comfortable and not have to stress over stuff like that."

As of Wednesday afternoon, the family's GoFundMe raised $756 of their $3,000 goal.
