ANN ARBOR – The Ann Arbor Police Department is investigating after an Ann Arbor resident called to report a hole in the siding of her home.

At approximately 2:30 p.m. on April 14, officers responded to a call about potential shots fired to the 2000 block of Dundee Drive. The woman said the hole led to her daughter’s second floor bedroom and she discovered damage to the headboard of the bed.
