A pellet gun is what police say may have been the reason that 18 businesses got a total of 28 windows shot out last weekend in downtown Orlando. 

It turns out pellet guns and broken windows aren't that unusual in Orlando. 

At 6:15am on Wednesday, January 6, 2016, less than one week ago, Officer N. Collins responded to a call in the Baldwin Park (Website) neighborhood at the 5400 block of Baldwin Park Street. 4 vehicles' driver`s side windows were cracked, damaged, and shattered "by possibly a pellet gun" according to the police report. 

The report also stated that this was the second incident like that in Baldwin Park. 

What is a pellet gun? 
Wikipedia says "An air gun (often called pellet gun or BB gundepending on the projectile) is any variety of pneumatic weapon that propels projectiles by means of compressed air or other gas, in contrast to firearms, which use a propellant charge." (Source)
