Speer said it would cost $250 to replace the window and tint it.
Patrick said the Lawrence police would continue to investigate the case.
Lawrence police identified the
suspects after responding to a one-vehicle accident on Monterey Way, just south of Peterson Street.
The vehicle drove off the road and struck a utility pole, Pattrick said.
Officers recovered a BB gun at the scene, and the three passengers were identified as suspects.
Patrick said the shattered win

PRIEST: Movement has developed in 70 countries
"Everyone is suspicious; everyone wears masks," Abacate said. "People are still interested in the big questions, but they no longer trust the people who are answered."
Originally from Puerto Rico, Albacete is the U.S. leader of the Communion and Liberation movement, a columnist for The New York Times Magazine and an adviser for PBS's Frontline.

Albacete's involvement with the Catholic Church has brought him opportunities to observe American culture, he said.
Cody Reidy said he thought Albacete was accurate with his description of a cynical culture.
"Science and modernism have tried to offer answers to all our questions," Reidy, Hope junior, said. "I think people feel they have been failed by those ideologues."
Albacete said the Communion and Liberation movement restored people's faith in organized religion. The movement has developed in 70 countries and in cities all over the United States including such Kansas cities as Atchison, Kansas City and Wichita.

Albacete began traveling the country once a month five years ago to check on the different communities. He became part of the movement in New York City six years ago when he wrote a cover article for The New Yorker. He wrote about a meeting between Pope John Paul II and Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Albacete knows both men personally, he said, but didn't want to seem like he was dropping names.
he was stopped. "It is very difficult to be friends with a pope," he said. "It was easier when he was nobody."
Albacete met the pope in 1976 when he was working as a theological adviser to the cardinal archbishops in Washington, D.C. At the time, the current pope was the archbishop of Krakow, Poland. Albacete said that they remained friends even after John Paul II was elected pope. Albacete said he had been asked by both ABC and CNN to be a consultant upon the pope's death.
upon the pope, he said,
"When I told the pope, he said,
'What makes them think I am going to die first?'" said Albacete, who is 61.
Albacete said he was grateful for all the people he has met and all the opportunities he has had from being part of the Catholic movement.
Lawrence does not yet have a community that belongs to the Communion and Liberation movement, but the monsignor's talk may have sparked an interest, said Troy Hinkel, director of theological education at St. Lawrence. Hinkel said that Albacete's focus on friendship was important for college students.
"We all want a sense of unity and I think that is attractive to students."
