Atchison Residence Shot For Second Time

(KAIR)--An Atchison residence that incurred gunshots in September is shot at again. “Police are investigating an incident that occurred in the 1600 block of Santa Fe at 3 AM on Sunday morning,” Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News. “A residence and several vehicles were struck by gunshots. This is the same residence that was struck by gunshots in mid-September.”

That's Police Chief Mike Wilson, who says the investigation so far indicates the shootings are not random. “There are a number of leads that we're focusing on as to what the motivation could be behind these incidents at this same residence.”

Although the residence was unoccupied at the time it took on gunfire in September, Wilson says it was a different story during the latest shooting. “We had an officer there very quickly when the call first came out [that] there were gunshots heard in the area. We obviously, following the first officers response, had a number of officers in the area. We immediately, when the first officer arrived, made contact with a resident who been inside, and everybody was fine and that person was aware of what happened.”

Wilson says leads that developed in September following the first shooting continue to be pursued, with investigators working to learn who might be behind the shootings.
