Drivers report their cars were shot at in Pinal County

Posts circulating on social media and in neighborhood watch groups claim three separate drivers discovered bullet holes in their cars after traveling on Ironwood Drive between US-60 and Germann Road.

In all cases, said to have occurred in the last two weeks, the drivers were in white cars, and the incidents happened at night. 

A Pinal County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said the department is aware of the claims, but none of the potential victims filed a report. PCSO is urging anyone with information to come forward so deputies can investigate. 

“It’s definitely eye-opening to think something like that could be happening out here,” said Todd Asquith, who lives near the alleged incidents. 

A woman who chose not to be identified provided photos to ABC15 showing what appears to be a bullet hole in the side of her SUV. 

She said her husband was driving on Ironwood Drive around 9 p.m. Friday when he heard a pop and assumed he’d collided with road debris. 

He noticed the damage while stopping at a gas station over the weekend. 

Neighbors say dove hunters are active in the area at dawn and dusk and wonder if stray bullets may be to blame.
