The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

The residents on Southeast 158th Street were awakened by gunfire at about 1:15 a.m. Oct. 5 and the sound of a car leaving their street.

Two neighbors were out in the street in their pajamas when officers arrived. They described what they thought was a sports car fleeing.

Five bullets hit the outside near the front door of a house; one round was found in the kitchen ceiling. Children and young adults were sleeping or laying down inside, including in the living room.

Only one of the people inside refused to speak with officers.

No one was hurt, but there was damage to the house. Two .40-caliber shell casings were found.

BREAK IN: Three windows were broken on a house in the 2800 block of Lincoln Place Northeast on Oct. 6.

The holes weren’t big enough to allow someone to get in, so the intention apparently was just to break the windows.

Rocks were found inside.

The damage was estimated at $900.

FORE: A 19-year-old Renton man said he had no idea where the golf balls landed that he was hitting from a backyard Oct. 7 toward residences on Southwest Sunset Boulevard.

He hit three golf balls out of the yard. A buddy hit golf balls, too, but wouldn’t say how many.

No damage was reported, but the officer told the two to stop hitting golf balls out of their yard.

PIPE DOWN: Officers once again responded to a noise complaint on Graham Avenue Northeast about loud karaoke music coming from a house.

This complaint was made on Oct. 9, but there have been five other noise complaints starting in June.

The owner of the house has been issued warnings. A man inside the resident has become belligerent with officers.

On Oct. 9, the officer heard someone singing inside on a karaoke machine from the driveway. The officer felt the vibration of the noise coming through the front door and windows.

The same young man was inside, singing into a microphone and apparently drinking. The noise prevented those inside from hearing the officers knock. They knocked on the window and another confrontation occurred inside.

The young man was warned and a report was sent to the federal corrections department.
