An 83-year-old woman in the 300 block of Sunset Drive, identified as Margaret Bosch, was the victim of a shot fired into her house sometime between June 5 at 10 p.m. and June 6 at 5:30 p.m.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that Bosch was retrieving her trash cart from her driveway when she noticed a hole in the siding on the west side of her house.

Upon further inspection, she recognized it to possibly be a bullet hole. Police were notified and officers located an unknown caliber slug from a bullet inside the hole.

A witness in the area reported hearing what she thought was a firecracker at around 10 p.m. on the fifth.

It is unclear at this time whether this incident was targeted or random.
