A local business is reporting that someone is shooting out the windows of its machines – causing nearly $6,000 in damage.

Churchill Equipment Company says three tractors have had the windows destroyed over the past 10 days.

The company has reported the crimes to the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office. It says in the 60 years the company has been operating, it’s the most damage they’ve seen to equipment, not from the weather.
