Surveillance video from the house shows two police officers looking toward the street as a vehicle drives past, then ducking when multiple shots can be heard.
Multiple rounds hit the house, but no one was shot. One officer was hit in the face by flying debris, according to the police department.
Police used Flock cameras and other resources to locate the vehicle, found about a mile away from the shooting scene.
Marion County Prosecutor Ray Grogan believes that 17-year-old Tanner Harden was the person who was driving the vehicle.
Harden pleaded guilty to six counts of complicity to felonious assault. He was 16-years-old when the shooting happened.
Grogan said that he will ask a judge to sentence Harden to 18 years in prison.
“This was a brazen act of violence that endangered Marion citizens and two police officers who were simply doing their jobs,” Grogan said.
He said that when gunfire is also directed at a family home, it’s an attack on the peace and safety that every resident deserves.
Another man, Isaiah Redmon, has been charged in the case.
Online court records show Redmon is facing nearly 30 felonies.
His trial was set for May 11, but it was continued.
