Gunshot Sound Remains A Mystery

(KAIR)--A report of gunfire, mixed with the sounds of an argument, sends Atchison Police rushing to the city's south side Wednesday morning.

However, Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says when officers arrived around 8:30, the source of the gunfire remained a mystery. “Officers responded to the 1400 block of South 8th. When we arrived, we did locate several subjects who also heard the shot but denied any involvement in any kind of disturbance or the shot being fired. Even though we think that we did locate the people that were in the area, it was not determined exactly the origin of the shot fired. We did not find any damage, we did not find anybody hurt.”

Wilson says two people at the location were the likely cause of what was reported as an argument, but are not believed to have been behind the gunshot. “We did search the area for any additional information. In an alley, in that area, we did locate the two subjects who not necessarily were arguing, but there was some discussion going on and I think that's what the verbiage was that was heard. It was not, definitely determined, the origin of the gunshot.”

Wilson says the investigation is continuing, as it remains unknown if the sound heard was a gunshot or something that sounded like it.
