Two mornings in a row this week, shots were fired at homes in Decatur’s historic Oakhurst neighborhood, authorities said.
The latest incident took place about 12:45 a.m. Wednesday in the 100 block of Hood Circle. Residents reported that someone fired several times into the front of their house, Decatur police said in a statement. Officers recovered shell casings, but there were no injuries.
On Tuesday, residents at a home in the 200 block of Feld Avenue reported that two men fired several shots about 12:30 a.m. Officers recovered shell casings outside the home, located bullet holes inside the house and inspected the area for further evidence.
Authorities learned the suspect in that shooting is acquainted with the residents. Police have not announced an arrest in the case.
Officials also discovered Wednesday’s shooting may be linked to an earlier assault in Atlanta. Police described one of the residents at the home as a victim of the assault. Information about the previous incident has not been released.
“At this time there is no evidence linking the two incidents,” police said Thursday in a Facebook post.
