The situation was "peculiar" and it’s possible this incident was targeted, Schmick said.
"Our plea to the community is that we’re looking for any Ring footage, security footage, passersby, people in the neighborhood, anyone that can provide information as to the culprit of this event," he said. "We want to speak to the family. We also want to respect that they just buried a loved one, so right now we’re just having a tough time trying to gather all this information. We’re trying to work as fast as possible."
