On Thursday, January 24, 2019, just after 4:15 AM., our Officers responded to the report of multiple Entering Auto incidents on Oconee Way. While en-route, units were advised a suspect fired several shots while driving away at a homeowner who chased the perpetrator with a baseball bat and then struck the suspect vehicle as it fled the scene. Upon arrival, Officers discovered a bullet hole in the victim's garage, holes in nearby vehicles and shell casings in the street near the caller’s residence. Further investigation revealed all vehicles entered were unlocked at the time of entry.
