'Duck Dynasty' star Robertson's homes hit by drive-by gunfire, arrest made

Police have made an arrest in connection with a weekend, drive-by shooting at the Louisiana estate of Willie Robertson, star of the “Duck Dynasty” show. 

Police on Saturday arrested Daniel King Jr. in connection with two homes in the state’s West area reportedly struck by gunfire on Friday afternoon, according to a  Facebook post Saturday by the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office. 

The homes are part of the estate belonging to Robertson, one of the stars of the reality show about duck hunting that ran from 2012 to 2017. No injuries have been reported in the incident. King has been charged with aggravated assault, according to the Associated Press. 

“It looks like they were just spraying bullets across my property.” Robertson told The News-Star.

Robertson – the CEO of Duck Commander, the multimillion-dollar duck call and decoy enterprise – was an influential public figure in President Trump’s winning presidential campaign. He spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention, in Cleveland.

However, family patriarch Phil Robertson's comments that equate gay people with hell-bound sinners have been widely criticized.

Wille Robertson said many family members have sheltered in place at the estate during the coronavirus outbreak, including daughter Sadie Robertson, a “Dancing with the Stars” contestant in 2014, the wire service also reports.

He also said members were “pretty shook up” after one of the eight to 10 bullets fired at the residence went through the bedroom window of a home where his son John Luke Robertson lives with his wife and infant child.
