According to the Callaway County Sheriff's Office, multiple calls came in around 3:32 p.m. for reports of gunfire in the area. Deputies responded to the scene, along with the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Spokeswoman Crystal Kent said that all individuals involved in the incident have been identified and located. Due to the ongoing investigation, their names are not being released at this time.
"We get multiple calls from people. We have to do lots of interviews, a lot of witnesses, look for any evidence that we have, and currently that's what all the investigators are doing," Kent said.
Kent said there is no ongoing threat to the public and that preliminary findings indicate the shooting stemmed from a dispute between neighbors.
Investigators are continuing to gather information to determine exactly what led to the violence.
