Bullet damages window at office

A bullet damaged a window at the Quay County DWI Office in downtown Tucumcari last week.

According to a report by the Quay County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy was sent June 8 to investigate vandalism at the office at 113 E. Main St.

Andrea Shafer, who runs the office, told the deputy a window had been shot out. The deputy found a hole in the window, and Shafer handed him what appeared to be a blank .22 short round she said she found in a bowl on an office table. The deputy took photographs of the round and the damage.

No arrests regarding the vandalism have been reported.
