Eugene (KMTR) – Church members made an unsettling discovery at Eugene Faith Center as they arrived for Sunday services. They found three church vehicles riddled with bullets.

Police are now looking for suspects.

A truck the church uses for food pantry deliveries had both side windows shot out and bullet holes in the driver's side door. The other two vans that were damaged are mostly used by the college ministry.

Even though gunshots seem to be a sinister attack, Pastor Jim Thomas says the church is not taking it to heart.

“We don't take it personally,” the pastor said. “It's just living life in the community together. And, you know, things like that happen. It’s unfortunate, seems senseless, but we certainly don't take it as a personal attack against our church.”

The vehicles were all parked near the administration building, away from where worship services are held.
