Shooting event's stray gunfire hits Northern Indiana homes

Posted: Updated:
GALVESTON -

Federal investigators have been contacted about stray gunfire from a northern Indiana shooting event that police say narrowly missed a woman and young child inside their home more than a mile away.

A Cass County Sheriff's Department report says the bullets from a Russian-made machine gun struck two homes and a garage in the town of Galveston. The Pharos-Tribune reports no injuries were reported from the April 14 shootings and no arrests were made.

Police say officers determined the bullets came from a shooting event at a rural property sponsored by Down by the Tracks Gun Store in Galveston.

Store attorney Larry Hansen says active shooting was taking place at other nearby properties that day and that he wasn't commenting on whether any laws were broken.
