Police are investigating a report of heavy gunfire at an unoccupied church in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

According to authorities, the Old Paramus Reformed Church in Ridgewood NJ was hit by more than 30 gunshots on the day after Christmas. The church’s website indicates that the structure was erected in 1800.
