Police are looking for a person of interest after a vehicle with four occupants was shot at in central Salina early this morning.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning that at approximately 12:10 a.m. Wednesday a 2010 Pontiac G6 with four people ranging in age from 17 to 22 in it was stopped at the intersection of West Beloit Avenue and South Ninth Street when a blue Honda Accord and a tan Chevy Trailblazer drove in front of it to block it from leaving the intersection.
The 18-year-old female driver was able to maneuver the Pontiac around the vehicles and then drove north on South Ninth Street, Forrester explained. As the car was driving north, the occupants heard a gunshot, he added. The 17-year-old male in the car reported that he heard heard a male subject from one of the other vehicles tell them to get out of the car and then saw him shoot at the Pontiac, Forrester noted.
According to Forrester the Pontiac had a single bullet hole in the rear driver side quarter panel. Officers located a shell casing at the intersection of West Beloit Avenue and South Ninth Street, he added.
Forrester reported that the incident is not believed to be a random act and that a person of interest has been developed in the case. The investigation is ongoing, he noted.
