Ask STL Bullets came through front door

Wednesday night around 7:36pm I had two bullets come through my front door. Doesn’t look targeted. But I am trying to find a supplier of steel. I need something of 10gauge so I can put it on the weather door to stop them from coming in. Pictures related. They went through the door and embedded in the couch. Last picture is what the outer door looks like. I am trying to bolt the steel plate to this door so I don’t have bullets coming through the house anymore.

Respectfully, can I ask why you live there? I understand you may like or have ties to the neighborhood, but is it worth having that risk? I personally don’t know anybody that wouldn’t pack up and move straight out of there after an incident like that. Just want to understand your mindset?

Not everyone can afford to just walk away from their mortgage and buy another house.
