Bradley Sheriff’s Office posts reward for information in drive-by shooting

The Bradley County Sheriff’s Office is offering a reward of up to $500 for information that leads to the identity of the person or persons who took part in a drive-by shooting last night in the 1900 block of northeast 31st Street.  

Patrol deputies were called to investigate this morning the homeowners discovery of exterior damage caused by at least six rounds from an unknown weapon.  Two of the rounds penetrated an exterior wall and lodged in a bed inches from where the elderly resident was sleeping.

The resident reported she heard a strange noise during the night but didn’t realize it was gunfire until she found the damage to her home after daylight this morning.

Sheriff Tim Gobble authorized the reward, stating, “ This is a serious matter that we are not taking lightly.  We are going to do everything we can to find those responsible.”
