Police are going door-to-door as they investigate a shooting Friday night on Allied Drive.
Numerous calls came in to the 911 Center Friday night around 9 o'clock. Witnesses saw two men walking down the 2300 block of Allied Drive, shooting at apartment buildings with handguns.
No one was injured, but buildings were hit causing property damage. The suspects fled the area prior to police arrival. Numerous shell casings were located at the scene. Police say 15 to 30 shots were fired in that area.
They also believe the shooting is related to similar shootings on Tree lane, Coho Street, and in Penn park.
Note from MPD:
MPD wants to assure the community that we are actively working the "shots fired" event from Friday night. Patrol officers, West community Policing Team and Detectives are investigating. Officers went door to door on Allied Dr to seek information about the case and to share the information we have with the community.
The investigation suggests that this case is related to other shootings and shots fired in other neighborhoods.
MPD is asking the community for help in stopping these suspects. Any person with information about the suspects, their location or the location of their weapons are asked to call MPD and share the information. They can call MPD or contact an officer working the beat.
MPD will continue to investigate these shootings and pursue the suspects.

Even easier to lift prints off the casings and run a match in AFIS. Cops are definatley doing this (probably why they are linking the shootings) These knuckleheads are probably not smart enough to have worn gloves every time they handled the casings, so their prints ARE there! Hey anonymous: I wouldnt make comments on the intellegence of others when you cant even spell the word "Too" properly, and you use "Um" even when you type. And by the way: Madison Police has a higher case-clearing rate than NYPD...Look it up!

Why dont you join the force here then and do all their work for them? What if they bought ammo that was sold on the streets or not purchaced in the US... please grace us with your skills.
