MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. — One person was shot and seriously injured inside their home early Sunday morning in Menomonee Falls.
According to the Menomonee Falls Police Department, first responders were called to Weyer Farm Drive around 2:42 a.m. for a report of a resident who was shot.
The victim was taken to the hospital by first responders with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
Their investigation revealed that at least two suspects had entered the victim’s home. The victim confronted the suspects, and one of the suspects shot the victim.
"It makes you really think 'What would've happened if it were my house?' They're in our prayers. It's such a tough thing, and a lot of people are on edge today," Andre Lorenzen, who lives two houses down, said.
Police and other law enforcement agencies searched the area for the suspects but did not find anyone.

Two other neighbors told TMJ4's Kaylee Staral that their cars were broken into that night.
These recent incidents have many neighbors concerned.
"It's shocking because it's not typical of the neighborhood. I feel bad for the family," Gerald McGregory, a neighborhood resident for three years, said.
"I can’t say it’s just the city or just the suburbs. You have to pay attention wherever you go."
Neighbors like Lorenzen are also encouraging others to take precautions.
"Be vigilant, don't leave the garage open, lock doors. It's a crime of opportunity," Lorenzen said.
The case was turned over to detectives to lead the investigation — which is still in its early stages and is ongoing.
Police will continue to search the neighborhood and follow up on leads, according to the release.
If anyone has information or video of the incident, please call the Menomonee Falls Police Department at 262-532-8700.
