The last thing Glenn Evans expected as he made his morning coffee on Friday was to discover a bullet hole in the kitchen wall.
“I saw a hole above my head where I was making coffee and said to my wife, it looks like a bullet hole, darlin’,” Mr Evans recalled.
“She told me to stop being dramatic.”
But as the couple sat down to their coffees, they noticed more.
Reality dawned on them that they were bullet holes from a shock shooting in the small town of 600 people they had called home their entire lives.
Just one shot that was fired saw a .22 bullet plough through the window gauze, through a blind, through a door before lodging itself into a wall.
“We just thought this stuff doesn’t happen in Ganmain,” Mr Evans said.
“To be honest, we started laughing. We thought, this is half funny.
“We’re pretty sure we haven’t pissed anyone off.
“The cops came, did their thing and spoke to the neighbours and we haven’t pissed any of them off either.”
The shooting is believed to have occurred in the dead of night, after Mr Evans, his wife and three of their five children aged between 13 and 28 went to sleep in their Ford Street house about 10.30pm Thursday night.
They woke at 5am Friday for work.
Neither the Evans nor the neighbours heard a thing during the night.
“You just don’t know if someone was walking along with a gun and it went off,” Mr Evans said.
“It’s just weird.”
None of the family members were injured as a result of the shooting.
Police from Wagga Local Area Command attended and established a crime scene, which was examined by forensic specialists.
Police are appealing for anyone with information on the incident to come forward via the station on 6922 2599 or crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.
