DUCK Dynasty star Korie Robertson has revealed their home shooting was “scary and dangerously close”.
The 46-year-old said the family are all “safe and sound” after a car drove up to their West Monroe, Louisiana property and two of their homes were shot at on Friday.
Daniel King Jr., 38, has since been charged with assault by drive-by shooting and criminal neglect of family”.
The Sun can confirm that King Jr. was then booked to Ouachita Correctional Center on Sunday night after being arrested and bond was set at $150,000.
One of the shots went through the bedroom window of where her son John Luke Robertson, 24, lives with wife Mary Kate McEachern and their six-month-old son.
Korie addressed the ordeal in a lengthy post on Instagram alongside a snap of the extended family.
She wrote: “Thank you so much for all of your prayers for our family 
We are all safe and sound and feeling profoundly grateful for God’s protection over us!
“Yes, the news reports are true, we had a drive-by shooting at our home on Friday, it was scary and dangerously close, but thanks to God no one was hurt 
AND today we got to participate in a drive-by birthday celebration!”
Korie went on: “Crazy how life works! We honked our horns and made signs. We are alive and well, and not taking this day for granted!
“My grandmother used to read this scripture aloud every night before she went to bed, when we spent the night she would read it over us, ‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10.”
She signed off: “God is good! Praising him today and every day!”
Korie’s daughter Sadie, who has been self-isolating at the estate with her new husband Christian Huff, also discussed the shooting.
She said: “Hi, yes the news is true if you’ve seen it. We had someone shoot at our property. Just wanted to say we are all okay. It shook us all up of course, but we are just so thankful everyone in our family is okay.
“Especially after one of the bullets flew through the window of my brothers home… The timing of where we were at the time was crazy protection because we had all just gone inside.”
Sadie – who was the first-runner-up on Dancing with the Stars in 2014 – concluded: “We have been resting on Psalm 91 and each other’s gratitude for all being okay 
thank you for your prayers.”
The shooting happened on Friday at 2.30pm, and luckily no-one was injured.
Witnesses said they saw several gunshots coming from the car, which was described as a white Ford F-250 with brown or beige on the bottom.
Willie Robertson, 48, told USA Today: “We were pretty shook up. It looks like they were just spraying bullets across my property.”
The CEO of Duck Commander revealed the shooting happened “in broad daylight.”
The famous outdoorsman revealed that he believes the suspects knew it was his property they sprayed bullets at.
“I’m 100% certain, but I don’t know why,” he said.
Bullets hit the homes that are behind a secured gate and far away from the main road.
“Nobody was outside at the time, but everybody had been out about 5 minutes before. I had just gone to the store when it happened,” Willie added.
Ducky Dynasty was a hit on A&E for its 130 episode run from 2012-2017.
The reality series revolved around the lives of the Robertson family – who found success from their family-operated business, Duck Commander.
Despite the show ending, the family continues to their company – which manufactures duck calls and sells duck-hunting merchandise.
