Shingledeckir said he went out for his morning coffee last weekend, looked down and saw a shotgun slug on his porch – noting it fit right in a hole left behind.
Bullet strikes Blair Shingledeckir's home in Muskego.
"We did not expect a bullet to ever hit our house," said Shingledeckir.
Turns out, it was not the only home in that subdivision hit by gunfire.
Police investigation
The backstory:
Muskego police said three homes on Harvest Court were hit by gunfire between July 10 and July 12.
While the investigation is still ongoing, Muskego police said preliminary information indicates the homes were struck from the direction of nearby Schultz Gun Club. The police department said it wouldn’t release any police reports due to the ongoing investigation. FOX6 News reached out with follow-up questions, and didn’t hear back in time for the deadline.
"We have wonderful neighbors around here, and we knew there was a gun club here when we built this home," said Shingledeckir.
