LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Tippecanoe County Sheriff's Office is seeking more information after two homes in a Lafayette subdivision were hit by gunfire on Friday morning.

Around 7:42 a.m., officers responded to the area of the 2600-block of Priest Drive, located in the Benjamin Crossing subdivision, after receiving 911 calls of shots fired.

Deputies arrived on scene and discovered a residence had been struck by gunfire.

That residence was reportedly occupied at the time of the suspected shooting, but police said no one inside the residence was injured. 

A second residence was also struck by a stray bullet, and there were no injuries in that residence.
