COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Columbia police detained a man after a call of shots fired led to a crash scene in a residential neighborhood.

Police were called at about 9:20 a.m. to a possible shots-fired call in the area of Grindstone Plaza, Columbia Police Department spokesman Brian McNeill said. The call didn't yield evidence of gunfire, but led to a crash in the 200 block of Sieville Avenue in southern Columbia, McNeill said.

No injuries were reported. A man was detained in connection with another incident, McNeill said.

At least seven police cruisers lined Sieville Drive at one point Thursday morning.

An alert from Columbia Public Schools said the incident briefly put Gentry Middle School, Rock Bridge High School, the Columbia Area Career Center and the Bethel Street Center on secure status, meaning students and staff were held inside the buildings.
