COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Columbia Police Department taped off a parking lot on Wednesday at a northeast Columbia apartment complex.

Police put up tape around a parking lot at The Greens, which is on Clark Lane, east of the Highway 63/Interstate 70 Connector. An ABC 17 News photographer saw at least 13 CPD patrol vehicles.

Police responded at 4 p.m. in the 51000 block of Clark Lane. One juvenile male was found shot multiple times and is in serious condition, according to Columbia Police Department spokesman Brian McNeill.

Police also received a call for shots fired at the 1300 block of Godas Drive, McNeill said.. A man was found on Keene Street with non-life-threatening injuries and was brought to an area hospital. McNeill has not confirmed if the scenes are connected.

No suspects are in custody, but McNeill said there is no threat to the public.

A neighbor – who wished to not be identified out of fears of possible retaliation – told ABC 17 News they heard noises that sounded like fireworks at first, but then determined shots were fired after return fire was heard. The neighbor said the incident occurred between 3:30-4 p.m. and that a male had been hit.
