Bulletholes in Sterling

Unless you have been on another planet recently, you might have heard of the drive by shootings in Sterling - specifically Sterling Boulevard. They don't know who is responsibile and it was all done at night. As many as nine houses were hit with multiple bullets and one man went to the hospital as a result.

It may or may not be related in any way to the occupants of those homes - my guess is that they were partly random. What may be a good hunch by some law enforcement officers is that they were possibly done by gangs such as MS-13 to prove a point since gang activity has not been ignored by the Sherrif's department the last couple of years.

Let's hope they manage to stop this one early.
