Bullets cause $7,000 in damages to Birch Bay home

Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) deputies have not found a suspect after a Birch Bay homeowner reported multiple bullets shot into their Anderson Road home.

A homeowner in the 4800 block of Anderson Road, near Glendale Drive, reported to WCSO deputies that they arrived home to find bullet holes in windows and cabinets around 5:30 p.m. January 27. Five bullets shot into the home totaled $7,000 in damages, WCSO spokesperson Deb Slater told The Northern Light in an email. 

Deputies were unable to find a suspect and will follow-up on the investigation if they receive a lead, Slater said. WCSO deputies considered someone could have been unsafely target shooting in a nearby wooded area but the investigation remains inconclusive, Slater said. No evidence outside of the home was found.
