Shooting spree damages dozens of vehicles
Shootings concentrated in St. Bethlehem area
Over the past several weeks, windows have been shot out of 60-70 vehicles in Clarksville, primarily in but not limited to the St. Bethlehem area, according to Public Information Officer Jim Knoll.
The total dollar value of the damage is between $20,000 and $30,000, based on window replacement costs of between $300 and $500.
“Detectives are working on this, but we really don’t have any leads yet,” Knoll said. “If they are using a BB gun, well, you just don’t hear it.”
Residents are keeping outside lights on, and parking in their garages rather than their driveways.
The police department is asking the public for help. “If you hear noises around your house, if you see a suspicious vehicle, call us. Be aware.” Knoll said, adding that calls can be made anonymously to the Clarksville Police Department at 931-645-8477.
Because of the dollar value of the damage, the perpetrators, when caught, will face felony complaints.
About Christine Anne Piesyk 
In my 40+ years in media, I have worked as feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, publisher, and film/theater/arts critic. I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago, having finally completed a mid-life undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts with a concentration in Alzheimer's Disease. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and on homelessness for the City of Northampton (MA), where I applied some of my undergrad work in urban planning and community development. I am a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter just because weather fascinates me. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, ballroom dancer, and classical music junkie. I also create sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure (one current interest is mastering preparation of foods from India and Southeast Asia). My dream: a return trip to Machu Picchu. After all, the best things still to come. All posts by Christine Anne Piesyk as presented on Clarksville Online are copyright ©2006, 2007, 2008 to the author.
