A man fired 10 shots into a Bloomington home

A man fired shots into a Bloomington home Wednesday but caused no injuries, police said.

At 10:43 a.m. Wednesday, Bloomington Police Department officers responded to a call about what sounded like gunshots at a residence on the 520 block of Hays Court.

A man approached the house by foot and fired 10 shots into the front door while the residents were sleeping, BPD Lt. John Kovach said.

The residents, a 52-year-old woman, her 17-year-old and 21-year-old daughters and 2-year-old granddaughter were sleeping inside at the time and awoke to the sounds of the gunshots.

The bullets entered the kitchen through the front door, far from where the residents were sleeping, Kovach said.

Officers were able to locate the 10 shell casings in a nearby wooded, fenced-in area.

The man ran away on foot, wearing jeans and a gray-colored sweatshirt with a hood, a witness told police.

The investigation into the case is ongoing, Kovach said.
