Several of the windows on a Norristown home were damaged.

On Friday a man told Norristown police that an air gun had shot numerous windows of his house, breaking a total of five windows, which would take about $2,500 to replace.

The man, whose house was located on the 1,000 block of West Oak Street in Norristown, told police that he had heard a pinging noise around 5:00 a.m. that he could not locate, but that the noise did not sound like gun shots. About two hours after the incident, around 7:10 a.m., he saw that the glass was broken.

Police saw that five impacts were made in five different window glasses.
