ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Asheville police are investigating another gun discharge in a north Asheville neighborhood — the second within a week.
No injuries were reported in either incident, Asheville police said in a news release.
The first incident happened July 25. Officers were called to a Griffing Boulevard residence about 9:34 a.m. to investigate property damage. Officers discovered 15 bullet holes in the front of the residence and recovered 15 shell casings, the news release said.
In the second incident, officers responded to reports of gun discharge at the same Griffing Boulevard home at about 3:09 p.m. Tuesday, July 30.
