Police say the gunfire caused several bullet holes in the backyard of a Kenner home

A teenager and 21-year-old were arrested in Kenner shortly after midnight New Year’s Eve for firing more than 180 gunshots, police say.

Th incident occurred about five minutes after midnight New Year’s Eve on Bainbridge Street. According to the Kenner Police Department, an officer was on patrol in the area when he heard gunfire. The officer got out of his car to search for where the gunfire was coming from.

The officer found the crime scene in the back yard of a home in the 3100 block Bainbridge Street. Police say 140 shotgun shells were found and 46 .40 caliber shell casings were found scattered in the yard.

The back of the house and a dog house in the yard had several bullet holes.

The home was vacant at the time of the incident and the owner of the home, who lived nearby, arrived and asked about what occurred.

The owner suspected her grandson may have been hiding in the house. She called for her grandson, 21-year-old William Dunn, to come out of the home and once he did he denied any involvement regarding the gunfire, police say. Dunn also said no one else was hiding in the home with him.

However, when police searched the home, they found 17-year-old Henry Warner hiding in the attic. Two shotguns, a handgun and a semi-automatic pistol were found in the home.

Dunn’s grandmother said she was shocked at what her grandson did and called it a “dumb act.”

“I thank God that nobody got hurt,” she said.

She also said she did not bail her grandson out and told WWL-TV he is a grown man and should deal with the consequences of his actions.
