According to investigators with South Simcoe Police, the bullet was an errant round fired around 2 a.m. from the intersection of the 8th Line and Barrie Street.
Police say the 30-year-old resident was inside the home at Colborne Street and the 8th Line and woke up to the sound of a shot being fired.
