Police are investigating an incident in which shots were fired into a Salina residence Monday afternoon.
Officers were dispatched to the area of Gypsum Avenue and Indiana Avenue at approximately 4 p.m. Monday in regard to gunshots heard in the area, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning.
Witnesses described a newer black passenger car as a possible suspect vehicle. A witness reported seeing a newer black four-door passenger car slow to a stop going westbound on Stack Avenue. The passenger in the front passenger seat extended an arm out the window and fired six shots from a black semi-automatic handgun, Forrester noted. The vehicle then turned south on Missouri Avenue, he added.
Later on Monday, officers were sent to a residence in the 1400 block of Gypsum for the report of damage to property. The couple who live at the residence told police that they came home to find damage to their residence. A bullet hole was found on the west side of the residence that traveled into the residence, through their daughter’s bedroom, and into the bedroom closet, causing damage to the walls, Forrester reported. A bullet was found in the closet. According to Forrester, there was another bullet hole leading into the attic of the residence. No shell casings were found at the scene, he added.
Forrester noted that surveillance video in the area shows a black Pontiac G6, possibly 2005 or 2006 model, driving the same path described by witnesses.
