Police react to reports of gunshots

Madison police investigated separate reports of gunshots fired on the 2200 block of South Park Street and the 1500 block of Frisch Road after receiving calls from locals in each area Thursday evening, according to incident reports from the Madison Police Department.

Callers near South Park Street reported hearing gunshots fired at approximately 5:30 p.m. in their vicinity, Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain wrote in the report.

However, there were no shell casings or evidence found when officers investigated as well as no reported injuries or property damage, according to the report.

On Frisch Road, police responded to an isolated domestic incident in which suspect Robert Carder Jr., 53, fired on approaching officers. The caller was able to flee the scene before police arrived, and with nearby residents warned to stay inside, no one was hurt, DeSpain wrote.

Following Carder’s arrest, police recovered multiple weapons from the suspect’s home and charged Carder with attempted homicide.
