'Check security cameras' | Chesapeake police asking for help after cars shot

Chesapeake police officers found several vehicles shot in the area of Willow Oak Drive and Weeping Willow Drive.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — The Chesapeake Police Department is asking for residents' help after a few vehicles were shot Saturday night.

Around 10:15 p.m., officers went to the area of Willow Oak Drive and Weeping Willow Drive after there were reports of shots being fired. Officers on the scene learned that no one was injured, but several cars were hit.

During this active investigation, the Chesapeake Police Department is asking any neighbors to report suspicious activity. Officers are also encouraging neighbors to review their residential security cameras for any footage that might help in the investigation.

Neighbors that spoke to 13News Now are shaken by what happened.

"The bullet went in here, you can see it tore out this part, went through there and went through here - even the bag," Ronnie Roberts said, pointing out where the bullets entered his SUV.

Someone shot Roberts' car and the window of his home.

"The window had a bullet in it, you can see here where the bullet went in, and there's one that went in this way. The bullet was laying on top of all that glass," Roberts said. "The first time I heard it, I thought it was firecrackers but when I heard the second round I knew it was bullets."

Roberts had to replace one of his car tires and will need to repair parts of his car and several parts of his home - including his front window.

Across the street, the gunman also hit his 91-year-old neighbor's house.

Edwin Morgan's home has several bullet holes.

"It sounded like those two-inches that the kids shoot off on the Fourth of July... Sounded like bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. Then it stopped," Morgan said. "We've lived here 25 years and never a bad knock on my door. There was never any reason for it. I'm 90 years old I don't need that stuff."

Roberts said he caught part of the shooting on his doorbell Ring camera and turned the footage over to police.

"They showed the kids running up the street, there were probably six or eight of them and then there were three or four then ran back down here after the shooting started," he said.

Morgan added he doesn't have any idea who could be responsible.

"I don't have a thought in the world about who might have done it," Morgan said. "Because I don't have enemies, never had an enemy in my life. I can count on my fingers, my enemies, and it would still add up to zero."

Neighbors said it's a quiet area in Chesapeake, and they've never had problems like this before.

"Unfortunately you would hear more of Newport News or someplace in Norfolk or something like that - somebody robbing a 7/11 store or drugs, basically or something like that - but not around here," Mike Morrow said.

Another area resident Linda Kloc said: "I've lived here for 25 years, we've never had serious crime issues in this neighborhood so I have no idea."

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP. If a caller's tip leads to an arrest, they could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.00.
