BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. (AP) - Barboursville police are looking for a suspect who used marbles to cause thousands of dollars of damage to businesses along U.S. 60.

Media outlets report that investigators believe the vandal used either a slingshot or a paint ball gun to shoot out storefront windows with marbles. Damage was reported at several businesses between Barboursville and Huntington.

The vandalism occurred early Sunday morning.



Laz-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries owner David Little says seven windows were broken at his business. Little says repairs will cost nearly $12,000.
