BG Police investigate shots fired in downtown early Wednesday

Bowling Green Police Division responded early Wednesday morning to a report of shots fired downtown. 

Witnesses told police around 1:18 a.m. that they saw a man fire five or six shots into the air next to a black vehicle in City Parking Lot 2, near the corner of East Wooster Street and South Prospect Street. They said two black vehicles then left the parking lot.

Police found six shell casings in Lot 2, directly west of Stones Throw. 

The witnesses said the man was pointing the gun straight up, and was not aiming at anyone or anything. 

Police dispatch reported that the city’s plate readers had gotten a possible match on one of the vehicles.
