Bullet Goes Through Wall, Hits Bathroom Mirror In Plainfield Home: Police | Plainfield, IL Patch

Jul 01, 2025

PLAINFIELD, IL — A residence in the 25500 block of Rock Drive was struck by a bullet, though Plainfield police said they have no leads or suspects in the case.

Officers responded at 1:45 p.m. to the property after a resident found a single bullet went through the house into the second floor, damaging a wall and a mirror in a bathroom. No one was home when the damage occurred — the residents had been away for about a day before they noticed what happened, Administrative Sergeant Luke Ostreko told Patch.

Police checked with nearby residences and did not find any evidence of a shooting or additional damage. The incident was forwarded to the Plainfield Police Department Criminal Investigation Unit.

About four miles north, Plainfield police confirmed around 2 p.m. Sunday that a woman had died in a car parked in the driveway of her residence in the 14700 block of Eastern Avenue. Police said preliminary investigations of both incidents "do not indicate [they are] in anyway related," Ostreko wrote to Patch in an email.
