'No one is immune to crime': Gunfire hits Stockton mayor's home, intensifying her resolve against city crime
Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi's home was hit by gunfire over the weekend, an incident that has only strengthened her determination to address crime in the city."This could have killed somebody in my household, even myself," Fugazi said.The violence that Fugazi has been working to stop has now reached her own doorstep. Initially, she was unaware of the situation, thinking the sounds were fireworks. "I didn't know at first. We heard the sounds. Our dogs went crazy. We heard the pop pop pop pop pop, and we thought it was fireworks at first," she said.It was not until the morning that Fugazi realized what had happened. "It wasn't until I got the notification from the police department that, no, indeed, it was a shooting," she said.Her home showed clear evidence of being hit by gunfire. "We saw the hole in the window," Fugazi recounted. "Then later on, we also found a number of shell casings."Stockton police reported that officers responded to a nearby shooting at the same time, discovering that a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old had been shot. It appears that the shooting caused a stray bullet to hit Fugazi's home.Reflecting on the incident, Fugazi expressed her disbelief. "I never thought that there would be a bullet. A random bullet coming into my house. Into the bedroom. But again, no one is immune to crime in this city, or any city for that matter."See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel
