MILWAUKEE (AP) — A 13-year-old girl was killed when shots were fired into her Milwaukee home.

Police say the girl was sitting inside the home with family members when the incident happened about 8 p.m. Monday. Authorities don’t know if the home was targeted. No other family members were hurt.

No arrests have been made. Police are continuing to investigate.

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.
