Windshield of Mom Driving Daughter to School Possibly Shot With a Pellet or a BB
It was “louder than the sound of a rock hitting a windshield,” Calkins said. “My daughter was freaked out because we had heard of the [windshield] shootings in Fortuna.”
We spoke to Officer Cy May of the Humboldt County area California Highway Patrol. He said that he spoke to the officer that Calkins filed a report with. The officer told him, he said, that “it most definitely could be a BB or a pellet but he didn’t say definitely that is what it is.”
In spite of there having been numerous reports of window glass being shot earlier in the year and last year, May says that recently “we haven’t had very many [reports] at all.”
If you believe your car window has been shot, find the next safe place to pull over and call (707) 268-2000 to make a report as soon as possible.

Or a rock.
When you hear hoofbeats, do you think zebras?
Usually hippos.
How scary.im glad no one was hurt.
You bet your sweet *ss its a bb or pellet and the person doing it has moved a few miles south.
The chp are down playing it because they know they cant do anything about it except take reports.
The person doing it will ramp up or slow down his assualt at his own will. The windshield repair people will have a good xmas but the rest of us will not.
Most chip repairs are covered, without a deductible, by your insurance. Just don’t wait and let it run.
I haven’t but I wonder if it has to do with this speed enforcement CHP did on Saturday: https://www.facebook.com/CHPGarberville/posts/1051858871618215
I had a similar thing happen a month ago near Scotia driving north. I stopped at Creations and the guy there thought it looked like a rock hit my wind shield.
