ROSELAND (BCN)
A resident on Eddie Drive in the Roseland area of Sonoma County reported bullets struck their home early this morning, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said.
An anonymous person called 911 around 2:20 a.m. to report gunfire near Moorland Avenue and Barbara Drive in Roseland, sheriff's Sgt. Cecile Focha said.
Deputies responded and patrolled the area but found nothing illegal or unusual, but they returned to Roseland a half-hour later when the Eddie Drive resident called, Focha said.
Two rounds entered the home from outside but no one was injured and the residents said they did not call earlier because they were afraid, Focha said. The residents said they didn't see who fired the shots and did not know why they were targeted, Focha said.
A deputy recovered a bullet that entered the front door at waist height, went through a wall shelf unit, through an interior wall behind the shelf unit, through a mirror and a jewelry box top on a dresser in the next room, Focha said.
The second bullet entered the home at about six feet high through a front window next to the front door. The bullet passed through an interior wall and through a picture in a glass frame on the opposite wall that is shared by an adjoining residence.
The bullet did not enter the adjoining home and was found stuck in the wall, Focha said.
The surrounding residences were dark and there were no other witnesses or other incidents, Focha said.
