'Random And Shocking' Milwaukee Alderman Says After Home Hit By Bullet

MILWAUKEE, WI — A Milwaukee alderman says his home now has a bullet lodged inside a wall after the deadly projectile pierced into his home on Sunday afternoon.

Alderman Bob Bauman, who represents the 4th District comprising downtown and much of the near west side area, said someone fired shots from a vehicle driving down Kilbourn Avenue and 29th Street.

One bullet got into his house and made it through three plaster walls, Bauman announced in a statement Tuesday. The bullet now "serves as a reminder of a random and shocking incident that has brought our city’s gun violence epidemic quite literally inside a normally safe haven that I share with my wife and two pets," Bauman said.

"We are safe," Bauman said, "although at the time my wife was reading just 10 feet from where the bullet entered our home!"
