Officers Respond To Shots Fired

 

On August 28, 2011 at 2PM, Officers were dispatched to the 900 block of South 21st place for shots being fired. Upon arrival Officers determined from witnesses that a male had been seen shooting a rifle from the back of his residence. Officers interviewed the male in question and determined that  landscaping equipment the male was using may have been what witnesses observed. Officers would like to remind everyone it is illegal for anyone to be shooting any type of weapon off within the city limits. If caught you could face jail time or a fine.
