In the most recent incident, police said two cars were hit by bullets on the 2600-block of W. Eastwood around 3:03 a.m. Monday.

Resident Lyle Sande shared photos of his bullet-riddled car with ABC7. He said he discovered the damage as he was leaving for work Monday morning.

"It's kind of scary because I like to sit in my car reading and I could have been in it!" Sande said.

According to police, four other vehicles were damaged in the 2500-block of W. Wilson sometime between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. on July 10. Another car was hit by bullets in the 2600-block of W. Sunnyside between 1:06 a.m. and 5:45 a.m. on July 13.
