Two homes on Thornhill Road near Fort Walton Beach were struck by bullets Thursday evening, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office. No injuries were reported in the shooting, which occurred around 8:10 p.m. on March 6.
Deputies responded to multiple 911 calls from area residents who heard shots. Investigators discovered several bullet casings outside a home on Thornhill Road, along with bullet holes in the house and a vehicle parked in the driveway.
A woman told authorities she and her three children were inside the residence when she heard multiple gunshots and the sound of breaking glass. Her home was hit, as was a nearby unoccupied house.
- The incident follows two other shooting reports that OCSO deputies responded to last weekend — one on Shrewsbury Road in Mary Esther and another on Elaine Avenue off Lovejoy Road. No one was injured in those incidents, but multiple vehicles were struck.
Investigators have not determined if the shootings are connected.
The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information about these incidents to call 850-651-7400 or contact Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers.
Authorities remind residents to report any suspicious activity immediately to the OCSO or their nearest law enforcement agency.
