Police are investigating reports of a gunshot fired into a house on Barcelona St. around 2 a.m. Saturday morning.
Ascension Parish Deputies were called to a home in the 300 block of Barcelona St. where Kendra Verner said shots had been fired through her residence.
No one was injured in the incident, and no arrests have yet been made.
“My husband and I thought a shelf or something had fallen in the next room,” said Verner. “We had no idea it was a gunshot.”
Verner said that her neighbor heard about five shots fired, but did not know it traveled into their home.
Verner resides at her resident with her husband and there two kids, ages eight and five.
“The shot entered through our front window shutter directly into our daughter’s bedroom, and traveled to our son’s room, and then our bedroom,” explained Verner.
Fortunately the kids were sleeping in their parents’ room that night because they fell asleep watching television.
Deputies recovered the bullet in the parent’s bedroom and searched for any additional information available.
“The deputies really did a good job with not over reacting in front of my children, which they remained calm because of it,” added Verner.
According to APSO, an argument started at a nearby apartment complex, and may have been where the shot came from. No other information is available at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office.
