Inside the house Stephanie McGee was terrified. She was home alone with her four children between the ages of two and eighteen.

"I was concerned. Where were my kids? Were they okay?" said McGee.

She crawled on the floor to their bedrooms and was relieved that no one was hurt.

Not long after, her husband, Quincy McGee, says he returned to the house after going to the store for a couple of minutes.

"I made sure everyone was okay.  There is a God and we're blessed because anyone could have gotten hurt," said McGee. He rushed in to make sure everyone was all right after returning from the store.

McGee said he doesn't have a clue who would do this.

"Me and my wife, we don't have anything negative going on in the streets. No enemies. We don't have the motive," said McGee.

Broward Crimestoppers is offering a reward of $3000 for information leading to an arrest.

"I hope they catch them and put them away for a long time," said Stephanie McGee.
