Here are the top stories in Bedford today:

1. A bullet struck a home on Pulpit Road Thursday. Bedford police are asking for the public’s help to find out how and why a small caliber bullet was fired at the home, and if it was a stray bullet or intentional. Police were sent to the residence around 2:45 p.m. Chief John J. Bryfonski of the Bedford Police Department said they did not know the reason for the shooting. (Bedford Patch)
2. In the spirit of cooperation, New Hampshire lawmakers sent the governor a bipartisan $15.2 billion state budget. Republican Gov. Chris Sununu said he would sign it. It was the first time in decades that lawmakers agreed on a budget without having House and Senate negotiators work out a compromise. Laurie Sanborn, a Republican from Bedford noted, “Something that both parties can promote as a win for the state of New Hampshire.” (NECN)
3. A shoutout to Bedford senior Aidan O'Connell who was named the Gatorade New Hampshire baseball player of the year. A dual champion athlete in baseball and basketball, he was part of the Championship team. A left-handed pitcher with a 3.9 GPA, the Gatorade NH baseball player of the year said he's committed to pitching at Northwestern. His goal is to play in the big leagues. Congratulations! (WMUR Manchester)
4. Bedford Off Broadway presents "A Night of One Act Plays" from Friday, June 9 through Sunday, June 11 at the Bedford Old Town Hall, 2 Meetinghouse Road. Ticket prices range from $12.-$15.
