It was pure vandalism I think someone ether hit it with some tool in a downward motion also hitting the door or someone threw a beer bottle at it from a speeding car.
I thought it was shot at first also but when I saw the door it very clear that something bounced off the door or window and hit the other.
I just had the biggest WTF moment of my entire life...
I go to unlock my car door and hear a faint click noise, which was odd. I then go to open the door, nothing happens the handle moves freely. I think, "hmm outside handle thingy dingy must be busted". So I squeeze into the pass side and attempt to open the drivers side from the pass side. Nothing happens handle moves freely...
My car is finally starting to look like a 8 year old car! Busted hid headlight, damaged front bumper, no working drivers side door handles, check engine light always on, scratches all over the place.

I can confirm that one...sunroof wont open, rear end started making noise when it squats (like bushings sticking), scratch on rear bumper where I closed the garage on it, dent from 3yr old learing how to open the truck door, CEL always on, faded black trim...etc
but you know what...it beats a $650 car payment!

This was the biggest PIA thing ever to fix on my 8. I was able to remove the door panel with the door closed though. You will need a whole new latch assembly though because usually it is the spring which you cannot find individually. I got mine form www.revvinsevens.com in Arlington.

Man you know I'm ghetto... I'll prolly drill a hole for a piece of string and duct tape it to the door handle.
He is hit or miss. I know he is not honest with his descriptions but I have received what I have ordered in a timely manner. I needed a latch assembly quick and since he was in Texas I got it next day. But the Calipers I got said they had 5k on them and when they showed up they looked like then have spent the last ten years under water
But I am rebuilding them and repainting them anyway.
