Hit by single bullet that came in through a window.

Witnesses reported hearing at least five to 10 gunshots, including one who saw two cars driving away erratically from the home US News reported.

It’s not yet known how many shooters may have been involved, what spurred the shooting or if anyone in the home at the time was the target. Lewis was hit by a shot that came in through a window.
