Investigators with the Lawrence Police Department are looking for an individual who they say fired gunshots at a Lawrence apartment complex Thursday night, damaging multiple cars.

A gunman fired shots at The Rockland apartment complex, 1301 W. 24th St., then took off around 8:30 p.m., police said Friday morning in a post on social media.

No one was hit, but several people heard the gunfire and took cover.

“We have reason to believe the person was not just shooting into the air but did have targeted victims in mind,” the post said.

Officers found damage to three cars and a mailbox. The investigation is ongoing.
