ORIGINAL

Investigators are looking for the person or people who opened fire on the United States Marine Corps Heritage Museum over the weekend, causing $20,000 in damage.

No one was hurt. The museum was empty at the time.

The museum, shaped to evoke the famous flag-raising on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima, was struck by several bullets, which penetrated upper-floor windows. Investigators counted five bullet holes in the glass.

The vandalism took place sometime between Saturday night and early Sunday. Investigators believe the shots were fired from across Interstate 95.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 703-670-3700 or 1-866-411-TIPS. You don't have to give your name, just the information. You could earn up to a $1,000 cash reward.
