The investigation is ongoing, as neighboring cities like La Habra and West Whittier could have also been hit. The vandalism happened at about the same time someone fired a BB gun at three men standing in a driveway.
The men were not seriously injured.
No information about a motive for the crime, or about a suspect or suspects, was immediately available.
