Half mile stretch of Warren neighborhood shot up, family flees for safety
Police are trying to find out who shot up six blocks of a neighborhood in Warren over the weekend, causing damage and sending one family running for safety.
Responding to several 9-1-1 calls of shots fired in a half-mile-long stretch of Adelaide and Grandview SE at around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, officers found several shell casings in a yard on the 700 block of Adelaide.
Witnesses reported seeing two people firing gunshots at a car in the area.
Police dug a bullet fired through a window and into a wall at the home of a 28-year-old man who lives on Perkinswood Blvd.
A 70-year-old man told officers he had just arrived to do renovation work on Hazelwood Southeast when shots rang out, striking his home, a fence, and his truck.
Around the same time, a 44-year-old man said he was on the first floor of his Kenmore Ave. SE house when it was struck by a bullet as his two daughters were upstairs playing.
The man, who took his children to the basement for shelter, later found a bullet hole in a hallway closet, just missing the kid’s bedroom.
Another victim didn’t discover the damage until she arrived at her Willard SE home after midnight. As the 64-year-old woman went to bed, she found a bullet hole in a second-floor wall.
