(KAIR)--Two men are in custody in connection with the report of shots fired in the City of Atchison.

Police responded to the report late Monday morning, arriving in the area of Harper Drive and Grandeur Road shortly after 11:30.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News arrested were 25-year-old Casey Crawford and 26-year-old James Duhon, both of Atchison. 
Crawford faces charges for aggravated assault, criminal possession of a firearm, and criminal discharge of a firearm. 
He was also taken into custody on a Kansas Department of Corrections detain order for parole violation.
Duhon faces charges for aggravated assault and criminal discharge of a firearm. 
Following their arrests, both were booked into the Atchison County Jail.  

Wilson said that a vehicle has been impounded, and weapons have been recovered, in connection with the investigation. “We do believe now that we know where this [shooting] occurred. It would have occurred on Harper Drive, between Holiday Drive and Grandeur Road. We know the suspects now in custody were in the same vehicle, as it traveled on Harper Drive, adjacent to the Westridge area. The vehicle stopped on Harper Drive, between Grandeur and Holiday Drive, where the two suspects got out of the vehicle, both armed with firearms. Approximately six to eight shots were fired as both subjects shot at each other. Neither one was hit, and then one left the scene on foot, and the other drove away in the vehicle." 

No injuries are reported, and the investigation is continuing, with Wilson saying the search for additional suspects is ongoing.
