Shots fired in Five Points Sunday morning

Police: No one struck, injured in Harden Street incident 

Witnesses heard several gunshots in the 800 block of Harden Street shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday morning.

The shots sent the crowded Five Points area into a panic, with onlookers scattering and some bouncers ordering people into their bars and shutting the doors.

Columbia police responded to the scene, but no arrests were made and no one has reported being hit by a bullet or injured, the department’s spokeswoman, Jennifer Timmons, said in an email Sunday night.

A car was allegedly hit by a bullet, Timmons confirmed, but the incident is still under investigation.

An incident report was not made available by press time Sunday night.
