When a Carroll County man looked outside his home on March 1 he found, to his surprise, that his shed and vehicle had become the targets of a barrage of paintball gunshots. The trigger man remains a mystery.

Wade Whisenhunt of 561 Dot Road said someone shot numerous orange paintball pellets onto his property, splattering his 1996 GMC pickup truck and one of his outbuildings with orange paint.

Lanning told deputy Chris Lanning of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office that he had been having problems with one of his neighbors. But when Lanning went to interview the neighbor he could find no reason to believe that it was he who went wild with the paintball gun. The neighbor was asked if he had any kids or if anyone in the house owned a paintball gun, and the neighbor said he lived only with his wife and elderly mother in-law.
