Police are investigating an incident in which a firearm was discharged into a house in central Salina on Friday afternoon.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said police were dispatched to the 900 block of Custer at approximately 4:30 p.m. Friday after a neighbor reported hearing a gunshot and noticed that a window on a nearby residence was broken.

A 37-year-old Salina woman and her two children -- a two-year-old girl and seven-year-old boy -- were in the residence at the time of the shooting, he said. No one was injured in the incident, Forrester said.

It appears that the shot was fired from the alley behind the house, he said. The bullet broke up as it passed through the window frame, Forrester added.

Total damage was estimated at $1,000, Forrester said.
