The Marion Police Department said they are investigating two incidents where guns were fired at Marion homes early Sunday morning. Firebombs were also thrown at the two homes.

At 6:38am, another call reporting that an unknown subject or subjects had fired shots into 291 Maple Street and also threw a firebomb at that residence.
No one was injured in either incident and damage to the homes was minimal on East Farming and it was more significant on Maple, according to investigators.
