Home of ‘Duck Dynasty’ star Willie Robertson struck by gunfire
Authorities in Louisiana are investigating a shooting that struck the home of “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson last week, a sheriff’s spokesman said Sunday.
Witnesses described someone shooting from a truck at Robertson’s home in West Monroe, east of Shreveport, said Glenn Springfield, spokesman for the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office .
No one was injured, and one suspect, Daniel King, Jr., was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault by drive-by shooting, the office said in a statement on Facebook.
The witnesses said a man who appeared to be in his teens or 20s was driving the truck, and other people were in the vehicle, Springfield said. It wasn’t immediately clear if King was the driver.
Robertson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday, though the former reality show star told a local newspaper, the Monroe News-Star, that “they were just spraying bullets across my property” in “broad daylight.”
“We were pretty shook up,” he added.
The show based on Robertson’s duck-hunting family ran from 2012 to 2017.
