According to Sgt. Tony Everett, public information officer with the BSPD, the first report of shots fired was received by emergency dispatchers early Thursday morning.

“The first shooting happened at 3 a.m. in the 2500 block of Hunter,” said Everett. “The house was struck by what appeared to be a round from a shotgun. No one was injured in the incident, but there were numerous people inside the residence at the time.”

The second shooting was reported at approximately 12:28 a.m. Friday in the 1600 block of Cardinal, according to Everett.

“A vehicle was struck by several rounds from an unknown caliber weapon,” said Everett. “There were no injuries in this shooting, either.”

According to Everett, the third and final report came in at approximately 1:35 a.m. Friday at the same location on Hunter, and this time the occupants of the home weren't quite as lucky.

“A shotgun round was once again fired at the home,” he said. “However, this time a 13-year-old male was injured during the altercation. The victim was struck by a pellet in the forehead from the blast. The victim was treated and released.

“All of these shootings are related and appear to be part of a domestic feud between two families. At this time there is no known gang involvement. Detectives will be questioning several individuals in relation to this case, but no arrests have been made at this time.”

Anyone with information regarding the shootings is encouraged to contact the BSPD at 264-2550.
