Leads sought in window shooting

Leads have run dry in the investigation over a window being shot out at City Hall.

The incident was recently featured by Sweetwater Citizens Crime Stoppers, a service offering cash rewards for information about crimes occurring in the county.

A window on the second story of City Hall was shot out Jan. 25 at about 10:40 p.m. Numerous calls were made regarding gunshots fired near City Hall and after investigating the claims, discovered a bullet had entered an unused second story office on the south side of the building. The cost to repair the window is estimated at approximately $500.

Interim City Administrator and Police Chief Chris Steffen said he doesn’t expect to find out who committed the crime, saying the incident seems to be a random drive-by shooting.

He said investigators have looked at camera footage from nearby businesses as well as conducted interviews with people living near City Hall, but haven’t been able to identify possible suspects.
