A longtime downtown Salina store had a large window busted out by multiple shots Thursday night.

According to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester, someone driving on Santa Fe Avenue at approximately 10:30 p.m. Thursday noticed that a west window at The Market Shop, 101 South Santa Fe Avenue, had been broken.

It appeared that the 78-inch by 82-inch window had been shot multiple times by a BB gun or pellet gun, Forrester said. The impact caused the glass to fall inside the store, knocking several items to the floor, he explained. Damage was estimated at $2,000, Forrester said.

Police are checking area surveillance video, he added.
