COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

No one was hurt after police found evidence of shots fired in west Columbia early Saturday, according to Sgt. Matthew Nichols.

A large police presence was seen on Redwood Road, just off of West Ash Street, around 3 a.m. At the scene, Nichols said officers received multiple calls reporting shots heard in the area.

An ABC 17 News reporter saw at least nine Columbia Police Department cruisers, an evidence van and eight evidence markers spanning from about 115 to 121 Redwood Road.

Nichols said there were "multiple scenes" and also confirmed there was property damage in the area. A reporter saw a car in the 110 block with its left passenger window shattered and officers taking photos of it.

Another ABC 17 News reporter went to the scene around 4 p.m. Saturday and spoke to the owner of the car.

"I was just kind of baffled that out of everyone in the neighborhood, it could have hit, I was the only person who had any property damage," Lenna Peterson said. "I guess just kind of confused and baffled."

Peterson said her car, a white Ford Focus, was shot about three or four times.

The back window behind the driver's seat was busted.

Two bullet holes were also visible in the body of the car, near the back driver-side tire.

Another bullet hole went through the back passenger window.

Peterson said she didn't hear anything leading up to the shots being fired.

"It's not like I heard screaming or anything, or I heard an argument, it didn't sound like a fight. It was just random gunshots," she said. "I was a little freaked out, but just more confused than anything."

As for the car, Peterson said insurance might not cover the damages.

"I think the cost of replacing everything might eclipse the worth of my vehicle," Peterson said.
