Milwaukee--Police are investigating the early Monday morning shooting of a 47-year old pregnant woman as she slept in her home.

The shots came from the outside, and apparently from a porch at a home across the street in the 3000 block of Burleigh street in the north side of the city at around 3-40am Monday.

The victim, identified by family and friends only as \"Michelle,\" is expected to recover after being shot in the leg, however, she'll undergo surgery for the broken leg she sustained from the bullet.

Residents are surprised that the incident did not leave much more mayhem, considering three different homes were struck when a barrage of about 14 shots were fired.

In a press release, Milwaukee Police say they don't be live \"Michelle,\" was the intended target, but have still to name a suspect or a motive.
