A father in Texas was shot twice in the same week by his daughter’s ex-boyfriend, police say.
The man was fast asleep when between six and eight bullets tore through his Houston home just after 2 a.m. on Sunday, police said, KTRK reported.
One of the bullets hit the man in the chest, according to KRIV.
The man, described as being in his 40s, was taken to the hospital by ambulance and is expected to survive, the outlet reported.
Police say the shooter is believed to be the man’s daughter’s ex-boyfriend, and the suspect is believed to have targeted the victim only two days before, according to KRIV.

The daughter doesn’t live at her father’s home, KTRK reported.
