18 shell casings found in central Columbia shots fired
ABC 17 News has confirmed Columbia police found 18 to 20 shell casings near the Rangeline and Vandiver intersection.
Witnesses told ABC 17 News they heard the gun shots and police were on scene for about an hour collecting evidence. The intersection was partially closed while police investigated.
Police told ABC 17 News they found a shattered car window in the roadway but did not find the vehicle, indicating it left the scene.
Around the same time, ABC 17 News received reports of a police presence near the Kitty Hawk apartments, about a mile away from the intersection of Rangeline and Vandiver.
Police told ABC 17 News the call was for a suspicious vehicle and the driver had sped away when police attempted to stop it. Police initially thought the car could be related to the Rangeline/Vandiver incident but it turned out to be a couple kids driving around.
