THOMASVILLE- On the evening of Sunday, December 15, the Thomasville Police Department received multiple calls from citizens reporting gunshots in the area of Fletcher Street. Additionally, an alert from the FLOCK Raven system indicated the same. Officers promptly responded and conducted an investigation in the vicinity. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or damage at that time.

However, on Monday morning, officials at Harper Elementary School reported that two windows were damaged over the weekend. The damage seems to have been caused by possible gunshots in the area during that time. The investigation is currently active, and there is no evidence suggesting that the shots were intentionally fired at the school. This situation serves as a crucial reminder that stray gunfire can pose risks. Fortunately, the children and staff are safe, and there is no cause for concern at this time.
