Bullet hole in my house. Oh the irony!

[dak109]

Eating dinner last night the wife informs me there is what appears to be a bullet hole in our porch fascia. So, we go out and sure enough there is a nice little hole. He scary part is the elevation was half way between my sons bedroom window and my bedroom window. Wind age was off about a foot from the edge of the windows.

So, I call the PoPo. They are coming out today (I want a paper trail). After I call them the wife asks if that is the best way to deal with it. I advise yes. I think one of the neighbors (hopefully) had an ND, and my house got the worst of it. Depending on what LE says, I will be having a talk with them.

Now the irony. The neighbor on the opposite side of my place has been complaining about my range. He complains and my house gets a bullet hole in it!

Hmmmmmmm It seems to match the hole in the floor of your son's room.

Huhhhhhhh?????

Did you find a bullet?

Could it be a carpenter bee hole?

 

[SERparacord]

Huhhhhhhh?????

Yes.

Would be the first place I would look. If the neighbor is complaining about "my range" I would research their shooting of my house last. Nothing derrogatory towards the OP and family, but honestly, Occam's razor.

Oh, I understand. You are asking the question if it matches the hole in the son's bedroom assuming the hole was from a discharge from the inside out. Sorry, comprehension fail on my part.

We need crime scene photos, diagrams.

Where I used to work on Indy's north side we had new bullet holes in the building about every other weekend, found bullets in the building as well. We reported it, but nothing ever came of them.

"Being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to
Get in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds of
Cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station.
They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and
They took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles
And arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
One was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,
The getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to
Mention the aerial photography."

No hole there. Bullet hole was from outside.

Unless those little bastards are tougher than I thought, no. I have metal fascia.

 

[Disposable Heart]

Carpenter bees, metal worker bees, plumbing bees, problem is the unions...

The bullet hole was clearly from outside in. I haven't dug the bullet out yet, waiting on LE before I do that.

the neighbor that complains is on the opposite corner. The trajectory appears to be from the hill across the road from my house.

It will probably be another typical case of American blind justice and the Judge won't look at the twenty-seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs.

LMAO! True, very true.

You must be as old as I am...

We live in BC as well, and with as much gunfire as there is in this county it wouldn't surprise me even a little to find out that the round came from a ways away. Hope you can at least find the round and perhaps the caliber.

So, the projectile is embedded in the fascia board then? Hmm.

Does it looks like it struck the facia at an steep angle as if it were fired into the air from a long ways off and hit the facia as it was falling back down, or was it more of a straight on shot? The former would seem purely accidental albeit reckless, the latter would seem intentional and thus a much greater concern.
