Photos taken during attempted carjacking in Milwaukee, man says: video

Gunfire hit a Milwaukee man’s home after he said suspects shot him while trying to carjack a car early Saturday morning — and it was all caught on camera.

Clifford Taylor said he woke up to the sound of breaking glass outside just before 8am. He ran to the front door and saw four people trying to steal his daughter’s car. The next thing he knew, he dodged bullets.

“They have no regard for life,” he said. “I was shocked at the insanity of this young man to simply say, ‘Should I kill him?'”

Dashcam video captured one of the suspects shooting at Taylor before they all scattered near 62nd and Melvina. He said the gunman fired about three shots, all of which missed him, but one of those bullets went right through his living room window.

“When you opened fire on my house, you have no idea who was inside on the other side of the wall,” Taylor said. “You put my family in danger.”

Taylor told FOX6 News he has seen an increase in crime in the area over the years. He added that the police quickly came to investigate and neighbors supported them. He said he is confident the four suspects will be caught, and when that happens, he has only one request.

“I just wish I could talk to them, counsel them,” Taylor said.

Taylor said the incident shook his wife, angered his son and confused his grandchildren. But he said he’s trying to solve problems rather than run away from them — and he’s not going anywhere.
