COEUR d'ALENE — A parked pickup sustained heavy damage after someone shot the unoccupied rig multiple times on the east side of the city on Friday night, according to police.

"We do not have any suspect information or witnesses," said Coeur d'Alene Police Detective Jared Reneau.

There were no injuries.

Officers responded to the 1300 block of Syringa Drive west of 15th Street between Interstate 90 and Best Avenue at 11:10 p.m. after there were multiple reports from neighbors who heard the shots fired.

Police found that a Chevy pickup parked in the street had been fired upon multiple times based on window and body damage.

"They hit the side that was facing the street," said Reneau, who declined to say how many times the vehicle was struck, citing the pending investigation.

Reneau said he didn't know what type of bullets were shot.

"We recovered some evidence, but I don't believe it's been determined what type of weapon was fired," he said.

Reneau said it appears the truck was the lone target.

"The truck was the only thing we could find that was hit," he said.

Those with information are urged to call police at 208-769-2320.

"Anytime there's a situation like this, we take it extremely seriously," Reneau said. "We'll see if there's surveillance footage and do anything we can to identify a suspect."

A report on the incident with more details was not available on Monday due to the active investigation.
