Multiple windows shattered in recent BB gun shootings
The windows of at least 12 vehicles were shattered by what appeared to be BB gun fire, according to Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department
Most of the incidents took place on Wednesday evening. One victim was in her car in the 1700 block of East 25th Street when her rear window was shot out.
A witness told police she saw two males in a white passenger vehicle. She said she saw them shoot out the windows of several other vehicles in the area.
Patrick asked that anyone who has information about the incidents call the Lawrence Police Department at 832- 7650 or CrimeStoppers at 843-TIPS.

Immigrant license law repealed in California
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California Assembly voted to repeal a law yesterday allowing undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses, setting the stage for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to fulfill a key campaign pledge just two weeks after taking office.
Facing a threatened March ballot initiative to kill the law, the Assembly voted 64-9 to overturn what it passed only three months ago.
The measure now goes to Schwarzenegger, who was expected to quickly sign the bill.
