On Friday night, at 9:02 p.m., a witness called dispatch about a male who had fired a gun on 2900 Turbot Dr.
Our investigation, which is continuing, confirmed this.
There doesn't appear to have been any injuries or property damage from it.
__________________________________________________
Over the past month shots have rung out in several Madison neighborhoods. The gunfire has injured three, and Police Chief Noble Wray says it is fortunate no one has been killed.
The Madison Police Department (MPD) has two major concerns: the volume of rounds that have been fired, and the hour some shootings have occurred. In a couple of cases children - and other innocent citizens - have been nearby as bullets flew.
These types of shootings are not common in Madison, and quelling the violence is a high priority for the MPD.
On Monday afternoon, June 8th, at 2:00 p.m., there will be a news conference to discuss the shootings.
