Reports of potential gunfire are keeping law enforcement officers on their toes this week.
Allen County sheriff’s deputies were called to assist with an investigation stemming from Neosho Falls Tuesday morning after a subject reportedly angrily fired several shots into the air during a dispute.
The subject, who was not identified, left the scene, deputies said, and led investigators to believe he had headed to Allen County.
Officers were searching for the subject through the morning.
The incident was unrelated to two other calls for possible gunfire, including overnight Monday in the 400 block of Kansas Drive in northwest Iola.
The noise came from fireworks, deputies said.
A separate fireworks/gunshot call came over the weekend in Humboldt, deputies noted.
While fireworks are legal to be shot off in Allen County year-round, they are strictly enforced to a few days before July 4 in places such as Humboldt and Iola, deputies noted.
