Police received a report of five to six gunshots heard near an apartment building on West Farwell Avenue, possibly coming from a third-floor unit. Units were sent to check the area. Around the same time, another call reported a man with a gun at Walgreens on Northwestern Avenue. The caller said the man was threatening someone with the gun and then went to a nearby laundromat parking lot in a gray Honda sport utility vehicle, possibly a Honda Odyssey, near Western and Granville. Officers searched the area, but the people involved had left before police arrived, and both incidents were slowed down as no active threat was found.
