On Nov. 22, Barrow County Sheriff officers responded to a residence on Worth Court in response to shots fired in the area.

Upon arrival officers met with three women who claim they heard multiple shots in the area.

One witness claimed a woman in the house began screaming as a bullet traveled through her wall and into her bedroom.

After investigating the house the bullet was found near a dresser in the bedroom. It had entered the north side of the house through the wall and hit a handle on the woman’s dresser before falling to the ground.

There were also children asleep on the other side of the house in another room.

Backup was called in order to take crime scene photos of the bullet and its trajectory.

Officers searched multiple times around the house for suspicious activity or any shell casings.

When nothing was found officers left the area.

The residents claim they have no problems with any of the neighbors in the area.

Other incidents being investigated by the BCSO include:

•An abandoned vehicle was found on Austin Reynolds Road.

•A man claimed his truck window was busted at a Beidermeier Road address.

•A security guard claimed someone was throwing rocks at a business on Hwy. 211.

•A man claims his window was shot out with a BB gun at his residence on Russwood Court.

•The rear window was found shattered on a vehicle at a Russell Ridge Road address.

•A man claimed someone threw eggs at his vehicle on Kings Court.

•A man claimed someone in a truck parked in his driveway and remained there for 15 minutes on Sears Road.

•A burglary at a mobile home on Hardigree Road.

•A business owner claims two vehicles were taken from his shop on Hwy. 211 •A man claims someone tried to break into his residence on Kilcrease Road.

Don't have a clue as to where their bullets travel, how far they travel, who or what they hit.

Luckily this time, the bullet when through the wall and hit a dresser. Next time, it could be a child, adult, horse, dog, cat.

The issue has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with some idiot. The same idiot could have ran someone over with a car, or any number of other scenarios that have nothing to do with firearms but are just as deadly.

You can shot all you want in the county if you are more then 50 ft from the road... So what's the problem? They should just learn to duck better when the neighbors are a shot'n... right?
