Police Beat: Window Shot By BB While Child Was Looking Out

It’s been a few weeks since an incident involving a suspect firing a BB into a window appeared in the police reports, but last week that silence was broken.

Between 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. April 19, an unknown person shot a BB through the second-floor window of a home on the W15000 block of Cleveland Avenue. The 39-year-old female resident said the BB was shot into her bedroom window while her 6-year-old son was looking out of it.

The child was not hurt, but the window and the screen were both damaged. An investigation by Menomonee Falls police officers revealed a neighbor’s vehicle was also hit twice in the windshield by BB shots in the same time frame.
