SALINE —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a reported drive-by shooting in Salina early Wednesday and looking for a person of interest.
Just after midnight Wednesday, a 2010 Pontiac G6 with four occupants ranging in age from 17 to 22 in it was stopped at the intersection of West Beloit Avenue and South Ninth Street in Salina when a blue Honda Accord and a tan Chevy Trailblazer drove in front of the Pontiac to block it from leaving the intersection, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.
The 18-year-old female driver was able to maneuver the Pontiac around the two vehicles and then drove north on South Ninth Street.
As the Pontiac was traveling north, the occupants heard a gunshot, according to Forrester.
A 17-year-old boy in the car reported that he heard heard a subject from one of the other vehicles tell them to get out of the car and then saw him shoot at the Pontiac, according to Forrester.
The Pontiac had a single bullet hole in the rear driver side quarter panel. Officers also located a shell casing at the intersection of West Beloit Avenue and South Ninth Street.
The incident is not believed to be a random act, according to Forrester.
