A gunshot struck the home of CNN anchor Lou Dobbs
this month, and police in New Jersey are trying to determine
whether the bullet was fired intentionally or was a stray.
State Police Sgt. Steve Jones said Thursday that his department
received a call from Dobbs' wife, who heard a shot and said
a bullet hit her house. Jones said she had been outside her
house with "an employee who worked with Dobbs" at
10:25 a.m. October 5.
There were no injuries in the incident, which occurred in a
small community in northern New Jersey.
Jones said a bullet struck the section of the house where the
attic is but didn't penetrate the dwelling. He said the bullet
fell to the ground and was recovered. Dobbs' wife saw damage
to the siding, Jones said.
"The bullet was taken by our detectives and turned over
to our ballistics unit for further analysis," Jones said.
"At this point, all I can say is that it appears to be
a long gun, not a handgun or shotgun."
