Shots were fired Thanksgiving Day, but this bullet didn’t hit a turkey, cops say

Someone shot into a Myrtle Beach-area home, causing a bullet to pierce a rice container Thanksgiving Day, an Horry County police report said.

Officers went to a home on Renata Lane, off Peachtree Road, about 3 a.m. Thursday after reports of shots fired. Upon arriving, the victim showed police a bullet hole on the outside of his home, a report states.

The 40-year-old victim told police he was sleeping in his bedroom when he heard gunshots in the area and then a noise in his kitchen, a report states. The man said he looked around the kitchen and when he opened his cabinets, he found the rice container broken and a bullet hole in the wall.

Police said they could not see a bullet or any projectile from the cabinet.

The damage was worth $400, police said.
