Teens, stolen cars & gunfire!
At least a dozen shell casings were recovered Tuesday (04-07-2020) afternoon from a shooting scene near S. Park St. and W. Olin Ave. Many witnesses called 911 to report the gunfire, with two uninvolved motorists telling officers that their vehicles were hit by bullets. At this point, there have been no reported injuries.
Witnesses report at least one gunman firing from a white car at another car. Officers have found a parked, and unoccupied dark colored sedan in the area with apparent bullet damage.
A witness said several teens had run from the sedan. It is not known if this was the car being targeted. Many officers and detectives are on the case with the MPD’s Violent Crime Unit taking the lead. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers at (608) 266-6014.
