At least 14 homes, vehicles hit by shots fired in Brown Deer: Weapon may be BB gun, or pellet gun
BROWN DEER -- Someone drove through Brown Deer, firing dozens of shots over the weekend, and police believe the shots were fired from a BB gun or pellet gun.
Connie Rudolph says she didn't need this kind of hassle and expense right before Christmas.
"We got up Sunday morning and went out to go to church -- got into the car, looked into the rear view mirror and there was no rear window," Rudolph said.

One witness says he saw a dark-colored sedan drive down his street, and around 20 shots were fired. One struck his neighbor's vehicle, and took out a window.
Police are not only concerned about all the vandalism -- but also, the suspects who did this, and what could happen if someone sees a realistic-looking BB gun used in a drive-by shooting.
"To the individuals who are doing this, it's a very dangerous game because they do have -- oftentimes if it is a BB gun or a pellet gun, it can oftentimes look like an actual weapon and can put themselves at great risk," Caddock said.
