Shots fired during attempted carjacking in Milwaukee, man says: Video

Gunfire struck a Milwaukee man’s home after he said suspects shot him while trying to steal a car Saturday morning — and the whole thing was caught on camera.

Clifford Taylor said he woke up to the sound of breaking glass outside just before 8 a.m. He ran to his front door and saw four people trying to steal his daughter’s car. The next thing he knew, he was dodging bullets.

“They have no respect for life,” he said. “I was just shocked by the audacity of this young man to just say, ‘Should I kill him?'”

Doorbell camera video captured one of the suspects shooting toward Taylor before they all scattered near 62nd and Melvina. He said the shooter fired about three shots, all of which missed him, but one of those bullets went straight through his living room window.

“When you opened fire on my house, you have no idea who was sitting inside, on the other side of the wall,” Taylor said. “You are putting my family in danger.”

Taylor told FOX6 News he has seen an increase in crime in the area over the years. He said police quickly came to investigate and neighbors were supportive. He said he was confident all four suspects would be arrested and when that happened he would have a request.

“I’m just asking to maybe talk to them, advise them,” Taylor said.

Taylor said the incident shook his wife, angered his son and confused his grandchildren. But he said he was trying to solve problems rather than run from them – and he wasn’t going anywhere.
