The family whose house and vehicle were hit by gunfire over the weekend in Centralia tell police they don’t know why they would have been targeted.
They have no idea, Centralia Police Department detective Pat Beall said this morning.
It happened early on Sunday morning at the the 1300 block of Windsor Avenue but wasn’t discovered until that afternoon.
“We know somewhere around 5 o’clock a vehicle, we think a vehicle, drove by and fired four shots,” Beall said.
Nobody was hurt.
One round struck the rain gutter and lodged into the wood portion of the home, a second ricocheted off the windshield of their truck and hit the gutter, according to Beall. Two others struck the truck, he said.
It’s a family who lives there, with children, according to Beall.
Officers responded about 3:30 p.m. on Sunday and detectives are investigating the case.
Beall said they also know one person was in the area on foot, but didn’t elaborate.
Police are not releasing what type of bullets they found, or what kind of gun they would have come from.
