(KAIR)--A Sunday night search for a possible vehicle burglar turns into a probe of shots fired in Atchison.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, following an inquiry made by MSC News, says police officers were in the area of 9th and Atchison Street, around 9:15 Sunday night, to investigate a report that a person was seen in that area looking inside vehicles.
