Several shots fired into Riverside Drive home overnight

ELYRIA — Several shots were fired into a Riverside Drive home overnight, and one of those entered a bedroom where a couple was sleeping, and the homeowner says it isn’t the first time her house has been shot at.

The homeowner told police she and a man were sleeping in an upstairs bedroom about 2:30 a.m. when she heard something hitting her house.

She said her home had been shot at previously when someone was shooting at her sons, and that the noise was similar.

Officers noted they were standing outside the home when a red Ford Explorer drove by westbound on 11th Street looking at the residence, missed a stop sign and and turned the corner at a high rate of speed.

Officers found four bullet holes in the home. One bullet entered the living room, damaging a television stand a a baseboard. Another bullet went into the bedroom and two others went into the ceiling.

Officers found four spent shell casings on the sidewalk in front of the home. Officers were unable to locate slugs and instructed the homeowner to contact them if she did.
