HOUSTON – A man found a bullet lodged in his windshield Thursday morning.



His car was parked in a North Houston neighborhood near his girlfriend Ariana Benavidez's house.



Benavidez said she believed the bullet hit the car as a result of celebratory gunfire on New Year's Eve.

"I know it happened last night because I heard the gunshots last night just from a street over," she told Local 2. "And it's scary, it's terrifying because all my friends and family, and loved ones were all just in the driveway setting fireworks off last night and it could have easily hit one of our heads."

Benavidez said the gunshots happen in her neighborhood every year.
