In addition to his wife Korie, Robertson has been living with his son John Luke, his wife Mary Kate McEachern and there infant son, as well as Robertson’s daughter Sadie and her husband Christian Huff.
One shot went through the window of the room where John Luke and his family have been staying, though no one was hurt.
‘We were pretty shook up,’ Robertson told USA Today on Sunday. ‘It looks like they were just spraying bullets across my property.’
‘It was broad daylight,’ he added.

Robertson’s property, which includes multiple houses, is located far off the main road and is hidden behind a gate and a fence.
He said multiple people on the property saw the truck where the shots originated from driving by the property at least once, before the people in it opened fire at 2:33 p.m. CT.
People who saw it described the truck as a white and brown or beige Ford F-250 with sizable aftermarket rims and tires.
They said the drive was a white man somewhere in his teens or early 20s.
The Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting, and it may not be long before the truck in question is found as it was caught on surveillance footage from the property.
The TV star claimed he was certain the shooters were targeting his property, though he admitted that he didn’t have hard evidence.
‘I’m 100 percent certain, but I don’t know why.

‘I’ve been in close contact with the investigators,’ Robertson continued. ‘It seems local to me, but I can’t be sure.’
Though no one was harmed, it could have been a different story had the shooting occurred only minutes earlier.
‘Nobody was outside at the time, but everybody had been out about 5 minutes before,’ Robertson said. ‘I had just gone to the store when it happened.’
Witnesses who might have seen the vehicle or have any information about the suspects are asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 318-329-1200.
