HOLLAND, Mich. (WOOD) - A Molotov cocktail was thrown through the window of a Holland house early Wednesday morning, but did not ignite and did not injure the four people - including a child - inside the house.

Police were called to the house in the 200 block of W. 17th Street just before 6 a.m. They found an unexploded Molotov cocktail near the broken window, and three other similar incendiary devices. None of them ignited.

No one was injured.

Investigators are looking into possible gang retaliation as a motive.
