Shots Fired, a gun store on Washington Street in Covington, was burglarized early Monday morning.
Approximately 20-30 guns were taken from the store, which was “hit hard” according to Covington Police Capt. Ken Malcom.

"They got the door opened, and four men ran inside and started grabbing guns," Covington Police Capt. Craig Treadwell said. "They broke a couple of coutners open and took mostly hand guns and definetly a couple of long guns."
According to Treadwell, the suspects where in the store and gun range for 2 minutes, 40 seconds. Police who were nearby, arrived 20 seconds after dispatch, which recieved a call from Shots Fired's alarm company, placed the call.
Shots Fired offers training and a shooting range, along with many different types of firearms and ammunition for sale. The store, located on 8175 Washington Street, will remain closed Monday and reopen Tuesday.
