Police Captain Casey Moilanen says officers responded to the residence in the 1600 block of Marion Rd. around 7:30 p.m. A 62-year-old man told officers he was standing by a dryer when he heard a loud noise and the dryer began smoking.

Moilanen said responding officers saw a bullet hole on the outside of the home struck with gunfire and spotted another bullet hole in a neighboring home. Police say the trajectory of the two holes suggests the shot may have been fired out of the neighboring residence.
