Gunshots Strike Hill Staffers Home
Gunshots that police said came from a nearby freeway hit the home of Hill staffer Raj Bharwani and his wife, Jessica, over the weekend, just days after the couple had brought home their newborn baby, Ariella.
The shots fired early Sunday morning, with the family awake in a third-floor bedroom, shattered a window in the couple’s southeast D.C. town house.
Police said the shots may have come from someone shooting at another car on the freeway, multiple media outlets reported.
One bullet was reportedly found in the bassinet, in the baby’s hat that had just been taken off.
A second bullet was found wrapped in the sheets.
