The Linn County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI are investigating a shots-fired incident reported north of Center Point on Friday evening.
At roughly 4:20 p.m. a group of children were playing near the intersection of North Center Point and Fee roads, according to a media release.
A silver four-door pickup truck was driving nearby, occupied by at least two males, according to the release. A white male in the truck fired a shot from the vehicle in “the vicinity of the children playing” and then sped off.
No one was injured in the incident. An investigation is ongoing.
The FBI is asking for anyone who may have information about this incident, or video of this area during this time frame, to call the FBI at (402) 493-8688.
