Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Two people are facing charges after several bullets hit a home in Powell Sunday afternoon.

According to charging documents, the Knox County Sheriff’s Office went to a home on Blueberry Road around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday after receiving a report of shots fired.

The victim told deputies his house had been hit by gunfire, and deputies found at least five bullet holes going into the home, including one that went into a child’s bedroom and landed in a laundry basket.

Further investigation lead to the arrest of 18-year-old Makyla Wesley and 18-year-old Juliun Laderach who police suspected of drinking while discharging a handgun near their neighbor’s home.
