MILWAUKEE — Police say a 13-year-old girl was killed when shots were fired into her home in Milwaukee, but it is unclear if her home was targeted.

Police say the girl was sitting inside the home with family members around 8 p.m. when the shooting happened. No other family members were hurt.

No arrests have been made. Police are investigating.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that at least three children have been fatally shot in the city in recent years by bullets fired from outside their homes, including a 5-year-old girl who was sitting on her grandfather’s lap at the time.
