Police established a perimeter after a neighbor reported hearing a gunshot around 6:30 p.m. and found a gunshot exit hole in a door with wood chips on the ground nearby, according to court papers.
Police determined the bullet originated from inside an apartment where Booker was located.
No one was inside the unit struck by the bullet, and no injuries were reported during the incident.
