- Wantage, Oct 30 (THAINDIAN News) A bullet was fired form outside in CNN’s Lou Dobb’s home that just narrowly missed his wife who was standing nearby the actual destination of the bullet.
State police Sgt. Stephen Jones says Dobbs’ wife and driver were outside the home Oct. 5 when they heard the gunshot. Jones says the bullet didn’t penetrate the siding and fell to the ground outside.
Dobbs mentioned the bullet incident earlier this week on CNN and on his radio show too.
Dobbs says he had been receiving threatening phone calls for a number of weeks. On his radio show, he had a suspect in mind that could be related to the shooting incident, as he connected the gunshot to his advocacy for a crackdown on illegal immigration and to his opponents’ rhetoric.
“I now - it’s become part of a way of life - the anger, the hate, the vitriol, but it’s taken a different tone where they’ve threatened my wife,” Dobbs said on the radio show earlier this week.
“They’ve now fired a shot at my house while my wife was standing next to the car. It’s become something else.”
His home is a bit isolated and is located on a farm in Wantage, about 50 miles northwest of New York City.
