On Thursday, May 19 between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m., at least two shots were fired from a 9mm handgun in downtown Garretson.
According to Minnehaha Sheriff police reports and witnesses, the firearm was discharged towards a vehicle in front of 512 N Main between The Gulch Bar & Grill and the Garretson Gazette.
One bullet was found in the front seat of the victim's vehicle, and another ricocheted off the cement of the street or sidewalk and broke through the plate glass window at the front of the news office. Luckily, no one was harmed.
Reasons for the altercation were not given, and according to witnesses the Gazette spoke to, the shots were not heard in The Gulch. Video evidence from The Gulch was being sought on Monday, but no arrests have been made as of publication.
