SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle police say four windows on the south side of the city's municipal courthouse have been damaged by pellet gunfire _ and one of those windows shattered.

Police said in a statement that no one was hurt Monday.

An employee sitting next to the window that shattered says she heard a pinging wound and a loud bang.

The windows are about 30 feet above street level.

Police are investigating.

    I hate it when people use pellet guns to do horrible acts. It just makes the sport look bad and the players look like delinquents. A lot of sites like http://www.airsplat.com/airsoft-info.htm give education pages for the sport. But people like this make it so difficult to take away any misconception on the sport.
