So far, there are six victims, one on Railroad Avenue and five on Lyons Avenue. It also appears that the Pantry was the first business to get hit.

“Right now it appears to be a random act of vandalism, similar to the windows shot out in Canyon Country a few weeks ago,” he continued. On October 21, fifteen businesses along Soledad Canyon Road, between Reuther Drive and Sand Canyon Road, had their windows shattered by marbles allegedly fired from paintball guns.
