Around 12:15 a.m., officers are seen on doorbell camera footage — shared to ABC 17 News by a neighbor — knocking on doors to try and get information from residents. That same neighbor shared video of the what the building looked like at 7 a.m. Wednesday. Glass windows and doors could be seen with damage to them.
When an ABC 17 News reporter arrived to the scene at around 11 a.m. Wednesday, the damaged glass windows and doors had been boarded up. A resident, who asked to not be identified due to fear of future threats, said he was sitting on his couch watching a movie when he heard what sounded like four or five gunshots.
Another neighbor — who wished to remain anonymous for similar reasons — said their sliding window to their apartment was shot.
The property’s management confirmed to ABC 17 News that nobody in the complex was hurt in the shooting. They also ask anyone with information to contact the Columbia Police Department.
