ATLANTA - A man was injured after bullets went into a southwest Atlanta Airbnb.

What we know:

Police said the shooting happened around 4:15 a.m. Saturday in the 1600 block of Evans Drive SW.

When officers got there, they said they found a 29-year-old with a graze wound. They said the man was grazed by a bullet while sleeping in an Airbnb.

The shooting was motivated by an argument, according to police.

The Atlanta Police Department's Aggravated Assault Unit investigated the shooting.

A FOX 5 crew on scene saw a window in the home shot out and what appeared to be at least 11 bullet holes in the side of the house.  

What they're saying:

Tiffany Anderson, who is visiting from Tennessee, was staying in an Airbnb next door to the one that was shot up. She said she and her family were sleeping when officers knocked on their door. 

"I came to look out of the window. The police cars lined up here, maybe 10 to 15 police cars. Lights were out," Anderson said. "I was so scared because the first thing I was thinking were ‘What has happened here in this very short period of time?’ And then if anything is going to happen to me and my family inside. So we were pretty scared."

Anderson said she has visited Atlanta before and felt safe, but not this time. 

"So we didn't even come out this morning for breakfast or to do anything," she said. "Oh, Lord. I was telling my family we should probably go back home early… It also puts a bad taste in my mouth, not being from here and then staying, renting this place for the price that I rented it for." 

What we don't know:

Police have not said if they have a suspect in custody. 

FOX 5 reached out to Airbnb for a statement and is waiting to hear back.
