Multiple callers reported hearing shots in the Park Street and Regent Street area in the early hours of Sunday morning, but responding Madison Police Department officers could not find any evidence supporting the reports.
One caller reported hearing the three shots from his dorm room in Chadbourne Residence Hall. According to police scanner reports, there was confusion among callers about where exactly the shots were fired.
Police originally believed the gunman may have fired from a vehicle and drove away, according to speculation chatter on the police scanner, but were unable to find any evidence of gunfire.
“The [reports] on South Park Street were unfounded,” MPD Officer in Charge and Lt. Eric Tripke said in the hours after the incident.
MPD has not released an incident report at this time.
