Madison police were called out to reports of gunshots on the city's Southeast Side Sunday afternoon, but area residents were reluctant to talk about it.

The gunfire was reported at about 2:55 p.m. in Owl Creek Park which is near Horned Owl Court, but most lips were sealed when police started asking questions.

"Most residents would not provide officers with any information about what happened," said police spokesman Joel DeSpain.

One woman told police she saw a young man firing a gun then putting the gun into a backpack before fleeing the area with two other people.

"Officers did find a home that had a damaged sliding door that could have been hit by a bullet, but nobody would respond at the residence, even though it was clear people were home," DeSpain said.

Other than the possible broken window glass, there were no reports of injuries.
