The stars of the hit television show Duck Dynasty have been in the news a fair bit over the course of the last few years, and not always for the most pleasant of reasons.
These good ol’ boys have been lambasted repeatedly by the mainstream media. Sometimes it’s warranted, like when family patriarch Phil uses his platform to irresponsibly slur certain cultural groups.
Other times, however, it can rather obvious that the mainstream media just wants to portray this business-savvy family as nothing more than a bunch of backwoods bible thumpers.
Today, however, the Robertson family is in the news not because the media wanted to take some cheap shots at them. No, they’re in the news today on account of someone taking actual shots at them.
The Louisiana estate of the “Duck Dynasty” family was the target of a drive-by shooting of eight to 10 shots Friday afternoon, according to a report.
“We were pretty shook up,” reality TV and outdoors star Willie Robertson said in a Sunday interview with USA Today Network. “It looks like they were just spraying bullets across my property.”
“It was broad daylight,” Robertson added.
No one was injured.
One of the shots went through a bedroom window and was lodged in the wall.
No suspects have been named but he believes his family was targeted.
“I’m 100% certain, but I don’t know why,” he said.
Local authorities have been on the lookout for a white or beige Ford F-250 that they believe could be connected to the incident.
