Police are investigating shots being fired in a north Salina neighborhood early Sunday morning.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that officers were dispatched to the 300 block of N. Columbia Avenue at approximately 2:30 a.m. Sunday for the report of a disturbance. While on their way to the location, officers were informed that dispatch had received several reports of three shots being fired at 363 N. Columbia Avenue.

Officers spoke with the resident there, Fredrick Ruffin, 40, who had been having a gathering at his residence, Forrester said. Ruffin told police that he had heard three gunshots behind his residence.

Officers located three .40 caliber shell casings, Forrester said. They also found blood in front of the garage at the residence. Additionally, a garage window was broken, but not by a bullet, he said.

As of this morning, a person who may have been injured during the incident has yet to come forward, Forrester said.
