The occupant of #1 apartment of an apartment house on East Prescott reported he and a friend were in his living room when they heard the shot, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.

During an investigation, police found a bullet hole in the ceiling of the bedroom in apartment No. 1.

Officers then attempted to contact occupants in apartment No. 3, as it is directly above apartment No. 1. When no one responded, police made entry to apartment No. 3 to check for possible victims, Forrester said. Police found four people who were not injured.

Later Wednesday, Salina Police executed a search warrant on apartment No. 3 and reportedly found marijuana, a spent 9mm shell casing lying next to the bullet hole, other drug paraphernalia, a Smith and Wesson 9mm handgun, a 22 caliber handgun, and crack cocaine, Forrester said.

Police arrested Kimberly Hagerman, 19, Salina, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, obstruction, and providing false information. Forrester said Hagerman also had a failure to appear warrant out of municipal court.

Whittney Cayce, 18, Salina and Shakeila Wallace, 19, Salina were arrested for alleged obstruction, according to Forrester.
