No damage was found after multiple shots were fired into the air early Saturday morning in southwest Salina.

Officers were sent to the 2100 block of Haskett Avenue at approximately 12:10 a.m. Saturday for the report of shots being fired, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

Surveillance video in the area showed a black SUV northbound on Haskett Avenue. A passenger in the SUV is seen firing approximately six shots into the air, Forrester said.

Several .45 caliber shell casings were located in the area. No damage from the shots being fired was located.

Forrester said this shooting incident is not connected to the multiple shootings and homicide that also occurred early Saturday morning in the 400 block of S. College Avenue in central Salina.
