Homes and vehicles damaged after ‘multiple’ shots fired in northwest Columbia Sunday morning
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
No one was hurt, but property damage was reported after “multiple” shots were fired in northwest Columbia Sunday morning.
In a Facebook post around 10 a.m., the department said it was investigating a shots-fired incident and asked people to avoid the 1000 block of Claudell Lane.
An ABC 17 News reporter arrived on scene around 10:20 a.m. and saw at least four Columbia police cruisers parked near two regular vehicles on West Worley Street, near Claudell Lane. The police presence was primarily focused between Spencer Avenue and West Middle School.
Movement could be seen in the backseat of each of the four police vehicles. The two regular vehicles appeared empty.
A woman in the back of a CPD cruiser could be heard screaming, “They jumped me.”
Around 11 a.m., two more cop cars arrived and the four others left. A tow truck arrived and towed both of the regular vehicles around 11:10 a.m. The scene cleared about five minutes later.
In a later Facebook post, CPD confirmed property damage to three residences and two vehicles.
Officers responded to the same block of Claudell Lane Tuesday night for reported shots fired.
The department posted on Facebook that someone shot into the air in the 1000 block of Claudell Lane around 9:30 p.m. Video footage captured a man in an argument, then firing three shots into the air as he walked away from it.
CPD said no one was hurt and no property was damaged in the Tuesday incident.
An investigation is underway into the Sunday incident, and more information is expected to follow, according to the press release.
