A woman was sitting in her living room Saturday night when she heard glass breaking in her bedroom.

“It left a pretty good hole in the wall,” Smith said.

Police came to investigate and searched for the bullet and bullet casing but found nothing.

The incident was strange, Smith said, since the bullet must have come from her backyard and she didn’t hear anything before or after the shot. None of the neighbors officers spoke with heard anything either, said Spokane Police Department Communications Director Monique Cotton.

Smith hopes someone knows something, since she will have to pay for the damage to her wall.
