“At around 11:30 last night, Deputies were in the area of the 1200 block of North Filbert Street investigating an unrelated call for service when they heard multiple gunshots nearby.

They quickly called for backup, established a perimeter, worked to determine the origin of the shots, and discover if anyone had been injured. Thankfully, it appeared that no one had been struck by the gunfire.
