Lawrence police were investigating a series of related incidents Tuesday following a long night of alleged BB gun antics, police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

The first incident was reported around 9:30 p.m. Monday when a man in the 1000 block of Rhode Island told police that two people had shot at him from a vehicle, McKinley said.

The man reported that as he was standing in the street talking to a friend in a parked car, a vehicle passed and someone yelled something at him. In response, the man told the car’s occupants to “shut up,” McKinley said, and the vehicle went a short distance “before abruptly stopping in the middle of the street.”

McKinley said the man then ran toward the stopped car and the vehicle continued forward before making a U-turn in the intersection of 10th and Rhode Island streets. The car then allegedly started back toward the man, who said he then saw backseat passengers on both sides of the vehicle “lean out of the car with what he believed to be handguns.”

The man said he soon heard the weapons being fired “several times,” but concluded they “must have been some other type of weapon” due to the sound the guns made, McKinley said. The man was not injured.

Around 10:15 p.m., a different man reported that someone shot at his vehicle while he was driving northbound near the intersection of Bob Billings Parkway and Iowa Street. As the driver was in the left lane, another vehicle pulled up beside him and he said he “heard the sound of multiple objects striking the passenger side of his vehicle,” McKinley said.

The suspect vehicle eventually turned to go east on 15th Street toward campus. The man then called police, telling dispatchers that the suspect vehicle was a white car with tinted windows. Responding officers later found “numerous dents and areas of paint damage consistent with having been struck with BBs or pellets,” McKinley said.

At 6:23 a.m. the next day police were called to the area of West 25th Court and Ousdahl Road regarding a report of a man “seen holding a gun and a female saying ‘Don’t shoot me,'” McKinley said. Responding officers spoke with several people near the intersection, one of whom allegedly had a BB pistol on him.

Police concluded that the group of people there were friends, McKinley said, and some of them “were allegedly target practicing with the BB gun,” shooting at cups and other items.

Officers noticed that a vehicle at the scene appeared similar to the vehicle descriptions at the Rhode Island Street and Iowa Street incidents, so the group members were detained and questioned, McKinley said. Following the investigation there, 20-year-old Levi Aaron Law, of Olathe, was booked into the Douglas County Jail around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday on suspicion of aggravated assault in connection with the Rhode Island Street incident.

Officers continued to investigate Tuesday and were seeking another suspect in the case, McKinley said. That suspect has been identified but not located.

McKinley said that police believe the occupants of the vehicle may have shot at numerous other vehicles and objects around town, so officers will “continue to work on identifying additional victims of related crimes.”
