Auburn Police say bullets were fired during a drive-by shooting hit a home on the Pownal Road in Auburn over the weekend.
From the Auburn Police Department:
On Saturday, October 18th, at approximately 7:45 PM, Auburn Police officers responded to a report of gunfire at a residence on Pownal Road. The homeowner reported hearing what sounded like gunshots and discovered two bullet holes in the living room window and wall. Responding officers quickly secured the scene, confirmed minor property damage consistent with gunfire, and ensured that no one was injured. Officers viewed multiple video recordings from nearby residences, which captured a vehicle traveling through the area at the time of the incident. At this time, we have no reason to believe this was a targeted act. The evidence suggests that this was a reckless and isolated discharge of a firearm from a passing vehicle.
Chief Jason Moen said:
Auburn is a safe community, and we intend to keep it that way. Incidents like this are rare, and when they do occur, our officers respond quickly, thoroughly, and professionally.
Auburn Police continue to follow up on leads and ask that anyone with information about a dark-colored pickup truck seen in the area around 7:45 PM contact Detective Dennis Matthews at (207) 333-6650 ext. 2059.
