Andrew J. Burwitz, 20, 45 Diane Lane, Appleton, was charged Wednesday in Outagamie County Court with four counts of first- degree reckless endangerment, four counts of endangering safety by reckless use of a firearm, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property and placed on a $25,000 cash bond.

According to court documents, the occupants of the house in the Town of Buchanan were awakened about 2 a.m. Monday to the sounds of breaking glass.

They saw a car driving off and found two bullets had struck the exterior of the house and three had entered the living room.

None of the four people in the house was injured. The ex-girlfriend was attending school out of state.

Sheriff's deputies examining the area found broken auto glass in the street, and, later that day, contacted area auto glass repair shops and found Burwitz had his car window replaced after filing an insurance claim.

3. Why was he not charged with attempted murder?

That's the 64,000 question.

12. We're in agreement there - prosecute the guy

Shooting at a house with intent to harm or scare should be prosecutable

4. on top of that he will probably be prosecuted for filing a fraudulant insurance claim.

And his future insurance will probably be a problem.

what a dumas.

Burwitz said he had been drinking heavily before the shootings. :wow:
