For the second time this week, Madison Police Department officers responded to a victim of a possible gun-inflicted injury Wednesday.

According to the MPD incident report, officers found the victim with a blunt force injury on their forehead after being dispatched to an East Gorham Street apartment in response to someone yelling, “He put a gun to my head!”

MPD officers found a bullet casing on a counter and a bullet hole in the ceiling of the apartment located on the 10 block of East Gorham Street.
