Police and Sheriff’s Deputies in Red Oak responded to a report of shots, fired late Monday night. Authorities say one person was detained for questioning in connection with the incident which took place at around 11:42-p.m. in the vicinity of 1st and Joy Streets, in Red Oak.

According to the police report, the Montgomery County Communications Center received a call from a residence with regard to a man walking down the street, shooting a firearm. The caller indicated they thought the shots were directed toward a vehicle parked along the street, and possibly a house. The caller said also, the suspect took off in a northerly direction after the shots were fired.

Officers with the Red Oak Police Department arrived on the scene within minutes and established a perimeter. The Montgomery County K9 unit also arrived on the scene and began a track of the suspect. The scent led the K9 Unit to the area of 1st and Prospect Streets, where the dog lost contact with the scent.

Officers on the scene determined at least three shots had been fired into the hood of a 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo owned by Nakia Nicole Lamb, of Red Oak. Early reports indicated that a shot could also have been fired into a nearby residence, but no evidence to collaborate that statement could be found.

An investigation into the incident continues. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the scene, including deputies from Cass, Fremont and Page Counties.
