A number of Lincoln residents awoke to the sounds of gunfire around 3:00 Monday morning. LPD Investigator Scott Parker says the first gunshots were reported north of Holdrege between 28th and 30th, just west of the UNL’s east campus.
He says about six minutes later, officers investigating an unrelated crime heard multiple gunshots coming from the area of 51st and Madison.
“Almost simultaneously 911 began receiving several other calls of another shooting taking place in the area of 48th and Cleveland to 62nd and Colfax.” He says several shell casings were recovered from the second scene near 56th and Adams.
Parker says it’s likely the gunfire officers heard was from that second shooting. No one was hurt and no damage to property was reported. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call Lincoln Police at 402-441‐6000. If people want to remain anonymous, they can call Crime Stoppers at (402)475‐3600.
