Pellets Shatter Vehicle Window

Arthur Watson drove through Crescent Valley around 9 p.m. on Friday when projectiles struck his car. He initially believed rocks hit his vehicle. Upon closer inspection, he found pellet dents on the driver and passenger doors along with a shattered window.

Watson escaped physical injury. He notes the situation easily becomes a tragedy since one pellet hit very close to the driver window.

“I thought it was rocks at the time,” Watson told CTV News Atlantic. “But when I did a further investigation, I realized it was pellets.”
