Jeff Childs indicates shortly after 8:30 p.m., members of the Junction City Police Department were dispatched to the area of 440 West 6th street at Wendy’s restaurant in reference to shots fired. Upon arrival, it was discovered shots had been exchanged and that all parties involved had left the area.
