Watauga police detectives spent Friday going through the Park Vista Townhomes apartment complex hoping to find doorbell or other surveillance video to help identify suspects in a shooting.
A bullet hole in an apartment door is the only sign of a shooting in this complex. One neighbor said she didn't hear the shots, but she knew from the police response it was something major.
“A fire truck, an emergency vehicle, a cop car, and then another emergency vehicle and then another police car,” neighbor Kristine Johnson described. “I thought, oh something bad has happened.”

Police witnesses reported hearing about five shots and then seeing someone flee the area in a white car at a high rate of speed.
“I found out there was a shooting, and I definitely was not happy,” Johnson said.
Police say they believe people in between apartment buildings may have been shooting at one another in a targeted incident, but a stray bullet went through the front door of one apartment hitting a woman who was taken to the hospital. Her condition has not been released.
