Hussein's wife and children were not home at the time, according to the Democratic lawmaker.

"My family and I are terribly shaken up by this terrifying attack on our family," Hussein said. "While we are safe, safety should not be a matter of luck. I am grateful for law enforcement's swift response to this incident, but we cannot regard this as an isolated occurrence. No public servant should have to assess their survival based on timing, and no family should feel their commitment to their community has placed them in danger."
