Garden City Hit By BB Gun Vandals

Residents and business owners near Ford and Merriman roads in Garden City spent the last week repairing windows after they were smashed in a rash of vandalism.

Vandals hit cars and homes at least 36 times and neighbors say the problem has never been this bad.

Tim Carner, owner of an auto supply store, had just closed his business when somebody driving down Ford Road fired some sort of projectile into his windows, spraying glass all over his store.

"We had one window that was totally blown out and two more that were damaged in shooting or whatever happened," Carner said.

"I woke up to go to work and discovered my window was shot out by a BB gun or some kind of projectile," said another resident.

"It worries. It worries everybody in the neighborhood," said area resident Mark Clark.

Police said they suspect kids with a slingshot or BB gun are probably to blame.
