13 Nov Midland Police Investigate Drive-By Shooting That Hit Home on South Fort Worth Street

Gunfire from a drive-by shooting early Saturday, Nov. 7, hit a home in the 1400 block of South Fort Worth Street in Midland and narrowly missed two of the eight people inside, according to the Midland Police Department.

The shooting happened around 4:05 a.m. Police said officers found shell casings in the street, and video from security cameras showed a pickup sitting down the block and three people in face coverings walking up to the home’s front. Two of them shot handguns at the house, the department said, and all three drove off in the truck, going west on Taylor Avenue.

The bullets went through a bedroom window at the southwest corner of the house. Police said the window was already boarded with plywood because of an earlier drive-by shooting at the home. The rounds struck a headboard and a mirror, narrowly missing the two people in the room.

The department said it has released no further information.
