Officers have arrested the final two suspects after a car-full of people opened fire on a house.

It happened at a home in Rock Creek in the Southeast corner of Dunn County. Three people were home at the time

The homeowner she says it was scary to have shots fired at her home. But, she also says "stuff happens."

The homeowner says somewhere around eight shots were fired around 8:15 Wednesday night. Investigators marked several hits on the walls and say one went through a window.

"Luckily no one was hurt. It's a very dangerous situation especially when you have people occupying the residence they're shooting at," says Chief Deputy Paul Gunness with the Dunn County Sheriff's Dept.

Gunness says 19-year-old Spencer Weber of Durand was arrested shortly after the shooting.

Eau Claire police arrested 20-year-old James Hutter of Arkansaw early Thursday morning.

18-year-old Johnathon Hutter of Arkansaw and 19-year-old Tony Hurlburt of Durand were both considered armed and dangerous until their arrest in Pepin County Thursday afternoon.

"We believe there's an acquaintance between the individuals--the underlying reason we haven't discovered or determined," Gunness says.

The homeowner says she thinks her son might know the suspects. She says he and her daughter-in law were with her inside when the shots hit.

As of 8:30 p.m. Thursday, all of the suspects were still in the Dunn County Jail.

Prosecutors filed two felonies against James Hutter and Tony Hurlburt including first degree recklessly endangering safety.
