They were still in shock Wednesday, the day after bullets, possible fired across the U. S-Mexico border, struck City Hall, City officials in El Paso, Texas, have said.

The El Paso Times has reported that city Rep. Ann Morgan Lilly said she was preparing to leave her office to go home Tuesday when she heard about the shooting.

She said, "Of course, I'm in shock. My office is right there. I won't be hanging out or looking out the window. Hopefully it won't happen again, but you never know."

According top the police, seven bullets struck the ninth-floor office of Assistant City Manager Pat Adauto on the west side of the building. The gunfire may have been stray shots from Juarez, Mexico, on the other side of the border.

City Manager Joyce Wilson told El Paso's KFOX-TV that there were about five people in the office having a meeting on Tuesday evening. When they realized it was a bullet, they hit the floor and vacated the office, she further said.

The Times also reported that one of the bullets came through the wall and knocked over a picture frame.

Another city representative says even though she was in another building, the shooting was disturbing.

Rep. Susie Byrd said, "I think the thing that's really distressing is ... that there's weapons that can shoot that far and have that velocity."

Safety procedures would be put in place, Wilson said.

Wilson told KFOX-TV, "Now that something like this has happened we'll put in place more formal procedures so that if something like this occurs again we can have a major notification quickly throughout the building so people can move away from the windows." (With inputs from Agencies)
