A fire station in South Louisiana was littered with bullets after a shootout took place right across the street from it.

KLFY TV-10 reports that the Ville Platte Fire Station was hit by bullets when one subject shot back at someone who shot him across the street from the fire station.

Two firefighters were in the station when the building was hit, but luckily there were no reports of injuries from within the station.

However, the building did have bullets penetrate the exterior walls and a mirror on one of the trucks was damaged by a bullet.
