A Cass County Sheriff’s deputy was called to a church camp near Louisville on Saturday after campers heard gunshots.
Cass County Sheriff William Brueggemann said camp caretaker, James Dill, told the deputy shots were coming from north of Camp of the Good Shepherd at 10312 Agnew Road of rural Louisville.
Two vehicles in the parking lot had been damaged.
Campers were asked to stay inside the building until the source of the gunfire could be found.
Deputies walked north through a farm field and found Kyle Rohwer, 25, and Aaron Furrey, 18, shooting into a target placed up against a fence post at a residence nearby. The men were shooting rifles.
Brueggemann said the two were unaware some of their rounds were ricocheting off the ground and traveling 1 mile south. They were upset about the incident and that they could have hurt someone.
Rohwer and Furrey went to the campground to apologize and get the names of the owners of the car and pickup damaged.
Reports will be forward to the Cass County Attorney, though deputies didn’t issue citations.
