A teenager's glasses may have saved her life in a drive-by shooting.

Police say 16-year-old Alonza Bryant was lying on a couch inside her Seattle home when gunfire started outside on Saturday night.

Authorities say a bullet came through the window and struck the bridge of Alonza's glasses and deflected away. The glasses broke, but she was not seriously injured.

She said: "I fell asleep with my glasses on, if I didn't have my glasses on I wouldn't be here."

Police say at around 9.40pm there were several people including children, inside the house at the time.

An unknown group of individuals, possibly in a dark sedan, drove by the house and began shooting.

Several of the shots went through the walls and one round went through the front window.

Alonza was struck by a single round on the bridge of her glasses, breaking them.

And the moral of the story is, if you don't wear glasses, you're drive by shooting experience might not be so great.
