Gunshots were fired into a Philadelphia firehouse on Thursday afternoon leaving bullet holes in the windows and narrowly missing the firefighters
inside.
According to WPVI, police were called to the firehouse, where they say some firefighters were standing around the kitchen area and others were eating lunch when bullets flew by them.
“It is scary for us as a union and for my brothers and sisters inside the firehouses to think that for no reason a person would shoot at a firehouse," said Joseph Schule, President of the Firefighters Union.
“When it occurred, they were very shaken up, but now since a few hours have passed, everybody has calmed down. But the two that were standing up, the bullets were literally a couple feet from their heads, and they quickly ducked for cover," he said.
Police found shell casings at the scene, but FOX 29 News reported that they do not have any suspects in custody at this time.
The fire station houses Engine 25 and Medic 8.
