Just before midnight at approximately 11:55 Saturday night, the Lubbock Police Department received multiple calls of shots fired in the parking lot of the Metropolitan Apartments.
Officers responded to the scene and began to question witnesses in the area who advised four males were attempting to burglarize a vehicle.
Preliminary information gathered at the scene indicates an individual approached the suspects to stop them from breaking into the vehicle. At that point, one of the suspect reportedly began shooting a handgun and the suspects fled the scene in a dark colored car.
There were no reports of injuries. Three vehicles were damaged by gunshots. Officers also located an apartment window that was possibly struck by a gunshot. Officers were able to work with apartment staff to open the door to check the welfare of anyone inside, but no one was home.
At this time the suspects have not been located.
