The Jefferson City Police Department is investigating an incident where shots were fired Monday night on West McCarty Street.
According to a release from the department, police responded to the 1100 block of West McCarty Street at about 10:45 p.m. Monday after receiving numerous calls from area residents who stated they heard four or five gunshots. Police also located a witness who observed people fleeing from the area on foot after the shots were fired.
Officers found four spent shell casings in the road and located four males who fled the area, two of whom were 17 and 18, and the other two were 14-year-old juveniles.
