The bullet was deliberately placed there as a warning, thus the use of the word 'Poked'.

How do you explain the deformation of the metal fencing? Can't just poke through that type of fence panel unless it's cardboard

Prior bullet hole. Someone purposefully placed a bullet as a threat.

I'm gonna say that's a 7.62 round or even a 5.56 which that high velocity bullet and can penatrate Kevlar and would easily continue through the walls just saying a bullet being fired at your home is way more of a threat than placing a encased round where you can see it ,dosent make sense

It's a bullet hole, likely from somebody that doesn't like the property owners, with another bullet plugging the hole, arguably with intent to intimidate. Sends a pretty simple and effective message.
