NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WIVB) — Police in Niagara Falls are looking into an incident where a vacationer came home to find his residence had been shot at.

On Monday morning, police investigated a home on Pierce Avenue after an elderly man who lives there returned home from a vacation in Jamaica, they said.

Police said that the 74-year-old resident reported finding a bullet hole in his window and residence wall. It’s not clear when the damage took place, but police said it could have been anywhere from early December to the end of April.

The value of the damage was determined to be roughly $1,000, police said, and the officer’s report did not have any suspects listed.
