A 22 caliber round fired at the Eastside School appeared to have damaged one of the Air Conditioning units at the school causing it to quit working according to Sheriff’s Department reports. Monday Warren Refrigeration Heating and Cooling Company came to the school to work on the unit which was on the front rooftop of the school. During the investigation they found that a coil on the north side of the unit was damaged by a 22 caliber round. They found the mangled 22 caliber round laying in the bottom of the unit between the coil and compressor. The path the bullet traveled appeared to originate from the parking lot between the mailbox and the library portable. Eastside principal Karen Wimberley stated that the Air Conditioning was not working back on Wednesday April 8th and that they filled out a work order to have it repaired. This incident could have taken place prior to the date the work order was filled out. Ms Wimberley also stated that she would review the cameras that are located in the front of the building to see if they recorded the incident. Investigation is still continuing.
