A family was awakened early Sunday morning to the sound of a bullet striking their Little Rock home, police say.
Little Rock police officers were patrolling the area of Lyric Lane and Brookside Circle after a report of a shots fired in the area about 4:19 a.m., when Meredith Chestnut, 38, reported that her house at 18 Brookhaven Drive had been struck by a bullet, a police report states.
Chestnut and her husband, Adam Chestnut, 34, told police they were awakened by “a loud noise” and noticed bullet holes in the walls, police say. Their two children had also been asleep in another room.
Officers on scene found that a single bullet had entered through the second-floor bathroom, traveled through the bathroom closet and bedroom wall, and ricocheted across the bedroom after hitting the bedroom closet, according to the report.
No one was injured during the shooting.
