KANSAS CITY (AP) — Someone fired a gun at Kansas City officers who were conducting a traffic stop, but no one was injured in the shooting, police said.

The shooting happened around 11 a.m. Monday along Denver Avenue as officers were checking a car, television station WDAF reported. Police spokesman, Sgt. Jake Becchina, said a gray car pulled up at an intersection near the traffic stop, and someone in the car fired a shot toward officers. The car then fled.

Police said the officers did not return fire. Police have not reported an arrest in the shooting, and officers were searching for suspects.
