Fortunately, the bullet did not go through a shared wall into an adjacent residence, police said. There was no break-in, police said.
During subsequent investigation, authorities found that DiCara possessed the gun but his FOID card has been revoked. He was charged with that felony, along with reckless discharge of a firearm.
