Shooting Details

According to police, authorities were called to the Robertson estate at about 2:30 p.m. Friday after eight to 10 shots were fired from a car onto the property on the 3300 block of Arkansas Road in West Monroe, Louisiana. Willie told USA Today at the time that one of the shots went through the bedroom window of the residence in which John Luke Robertson lives with wife Mary Kate McEachern and their 6-month-old son, but luckily no one was injured.

Willie’s Reaction

Following the shooting, Willie told the USA Today Network, “We were pretty shook up. It looks like they were just spraying bullets across my property.” The Duck Dynasty star explained that there were many members of his family currently living on the family property, including daughter Sadie Robertson and her new husband, Christian Huff. “Nobody was outside at the time, but everybody had been out about five minutes before,” Willie said of the incident. “I had just gone to the store when it happened.”

Korie Breaks Her Silence

Following Friday’s scary incident, Korie Robertson took to her Instagram to share a message from her family.

“Thank you so much for all of your prayers for our family,” she wrote. “We are all safe and sound and feeling profoundly grateful for God’s protection over us! Yes, the news reports are true, we had a drive-by shooting at our home on Friday, it was scary and dangerously close, but thanks to God no one was hurt AND today we got to participate in a drive-by birthday celebration! Crazy how life works! We honked our horns and made signs. We are alive and well, and not taking this day for granted!”

Korie Continues

She continued, “My grandmother used to read this scripture aloud every night before she went to bed, when we spent the night she would read it over us, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah‬ ‭41:10‬. God is good! Praising him today and every day!”

Sadie Weighs in

Sadie also recounted her experience with the shooting on Instagram, writing alongside a similar photo of her family on Sunday, “Hi, yes the news is true if you’ve seen it. We had someone shoot at our property. Just wanted to say we are all okay. It shook us all up of course, but we are just so thankful everyone in our family is okay. Especially after one of the bullets flew through the window of my brothers home… The timing of where we were at the time was crazy protection because we had all just gone inside. We have been resting on Psalm 91 and each other’s gratitude for all being okay… Thank you for your prayers.”
