HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — Investigators said shots were fired into a home in Henry County just hours after a burglar smashed a car into the garage door.
Police said someone rammed a car into a home on Buckingham Place sometime Friday and ransacked the house.
The homeowner then called police Saturday morning to report that someone drove by and fired gunshots at the home around 1 a.m.
No one was injured, police said.

Channel 2's Wendy Halloran spoke to the homeowner's daughter who said they do not know who targeted the house or why.
Neighbor Daisy Langston said she heard the shots and thought it was a storm. She said she is terrified to think that something like this happened across the street from her.
“Lord have mercy. Sometimes my grandkids are here. That really is scary, especially when you don’t know why they’re doing things,” she said.
A man who lives next door said he suspects something is going on at the house that was targeted.
"Everyone is thinking that there's drug trafficking," Carvas Jones said. "When you've got people honking their horns, you know, pulling into your driveway, banging on your door and saying, 'Oops. I was looking for the next house over,' and it happens all the time, we understand what that is."
The president of the homeowner's association said there are surveillance cameras and a license plate reader at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Jones said it's too little, too late.
"It's very disturbing, just from the amount of times police have been called over here. We're ready to leave. We're moving. That's it," he said.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact Henry County Police.
