Three shot on Clark Lane Sunday night

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Three people were shot on Clark Lane at the Greens apartment complex on Sunday night, according to Columbia Police Chief Jill Schlude.

According to Schlude, police received reports of a shooting in the 4800 block of Clark lane shortly after 9 p.m. Police found three people who had been shot on scene. Their injuries are considered to be life-threatening, Schlude said. Police detained one person on scene and said they do not believe there is an outstanding threat to the public.

Schlude could not confirm if the shooting happened in the parking lot or in an apartment.

A social media post from CPD said that there were three reported victims. Injuries ranged from minor to life-threatening, the post said. Additional information about what happened was not immediately available.

"Officers arrived on the scene very quickly, so did the Boone County Sheriff's Department they located three victims," Schlude said. "Those three victims have life-threatening injuries, everybody was transported as trauma patients to the hospital with gunshot wounds."

The Ashland Police Department, University of Missouri Police Department, Hallsville Police Department and Boone County Sheriff's Office all responded to the scene.

"Obviously, when we have large-scale incidents like this, there's a lot of information coming in that 911 is trying to sort through, so we initially were told there were more than three victims," Schlude said. "Once we realized the victim count was lower than what was initially reported, they went back to their jurisdictions."

An ABC 17 News reporter on scene saw several CPD vehicles near the Links apartment complex around 9:30 Sunday night. The reporter also saw officers searching a wooded area near the complex.
