MILWAUKEE — A bullet was fired into Milwaukee Alderman Robert J. Bauman’s home on Sunday, Nov. 6, according to a statement from the alderman.

Ald. Bauman said at around 2:27 p.m., shots were fired from a vehicle traveling west on W. Kilbourn Avenue and south on N. 29th Street.

At least one bullet entered the alderman’s home, traveling through a picture frame and three plaster walls. That bullet remains lodged inside the wall.

Ald. Bauman said the incident “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.”

“We are safe, although at the time my wife was reading just 10 feet from where the bullet entered our home,” he added.

Ald. Bauman said it was a quiet Sunday afternoon when the bullet struck his home and that Milwaukee Police Department responded in a professional manner.

He urged residents to stay safe and alert, no matter where they are.

“Sadly, no area of our city is immune to the random and sometimes deadly gun violence,” he said.

 Ald. Bauman was first elected to the position in April 2004. He represents District 4 in Milwaukee.
