DOUGLAS COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas man for a weekend shooting incident.

 Just after 7p.m. Friday, a suspect identified a 20-year-old Junah Sisney allegedly fired multiple rounds from a handgun at an establishment called The Bullpen, 811 Eighth Street in Baldwin City, according to a media release from police.

He then drove around the block and fired multiple rounds into an occupied vehicle parked in front of the Baldwin City Public Library, 700 Eighth Street Street. Sisney continued around the block and fired additional multiple rounds into the bar before fleeing.

Timely and accurate information submitted by victims who called the report in, combined with the actions of two Baldwin City Police Officers, culminated in Sisney's arrest at the intersection of High Street and Lawrence Street. Police do not believe the violent actions were directed to any one specific person or location. Police reported no injuries.

Sisney remains in the Douglas County Jail on requested felony charges of attempted capital murder, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, criminal use of a weapon, and 3 counts of aggravated assault.
