A person is in custody after allegedly firing a gunshot at the home of a far southwest suburban state lawmaker early Tuesday.

One shot was fired at the Shorewood home of Democratic state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, and three shots were fired at another home nearby, authorities said. No one was hurt.

Police were called at 4:50 a.m. after someone heard gunshots in a neighborhood of the village about 45 miles southwest of Chicago, according to a statement from Shorewood police.

Officers didn’t find anything, but another resident called two hours later after finding three bullet holes on the exterior of their house, apparently from a small-caliber weapon, police said.

Several hours later and a few blocks away, another homeowner found damage from a gunshot, police said. No one was hurt.
