FORT WORTH, Texas (CBSNewsTexas.com) - Seventy-seven-year-old Ora Griffin was the heart of her family. 

"My granny was perfect to me," said Passion Griffin, Ora Griffin's granddaughter.

But on Friday morning their world stopped when they heard there was a shooting at her East Fort Worth apartment. The family rushed over to find 14 bullets pierced through her home. 

 "I didn't believe it even though I was standing right in front of it," said Passion Griffin. 

Passion Griffin says her granny, as they called her, was eating breakfast when she was shot and killed. 

"My belief, right building, wrong apartment," said Passion Griffin.

Fort Worth Police say someone fired into her apartment and took off but they have not identified any suspects. Homicide detectives are investigating. 

"I'm more angry than anything," said Passion Griffin. "The way I feel, my granny is 77 years old why is she dead behind gun violence?"

She says her granny kept to herself, walked her dog, and could be found at church multiple days a week. Now the family will have to figure out how to go on without her.

"My granny is gone. I have no more comfort," said Passion Griffin. "Everything I had is gone." 

All they can do now is hope for justice to be served. 

"I would hope that somebody would come forward I would hope my family and myself would have some type of peace but I know that's not coming no time soon."
