(Laurel, Ind.) – Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a business in Laurel early Saturday morning to investigate a suspected drive-by shooting.

The incident was reported just before 1:00 a.m. after a driver allegedly fired multiple bullets into a parked truck near the Long Branch Tavern.

He was located at his home following the incident, where he allegedly exited his home with an AR-15 style rifle.
