The quiet town of Summerville, South Carolina was disrupted when a local home was found to be perforated with bullet holes. The incidents came to light on Sunday when a homeowner in Equinox Circle discovered multiple bullet holes damaging their home. The Summerville Police Department has since launched an investigation.

Discovery of Bullet Holes

Officers from the Summerville Police Department were called to the scene on Equinox Circle when the homeowner noticed unexpected and unusual damage to the exterior of their home. Upon detailed examination, the law enforcement agency found three distinct spots where bullets had struck the house.

Detailed Damages

Such a pattern intrigued investigators, turning attention towards potential assailants capable of precise, ranged shooting.

Evidence Collected

During the investigation, officers recovered three 9mm bullets, found in the various impact sites on the home’s exterior and interior.
