Tuesday, March 3, 2020

Cape Girardeau police officers responded to a report of shots fired just before 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 3, 2020, at 918 College Street in Cape Girardeau. After the scene was released, Chief Wes Blair said somewhere between three and six shots were fired, but police are unable to provide a good suspect description at this time. One victim was shot in the chin, according to Blair, but the victim did not need to go to the hospital and refused medical treatment. "We do have some witnesses that we're trying to talk to and see if they might know a little bit more, but that's all we know at this point," Blair said. An investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact police.
