Suspicious activity in the pre-dawn hours in Iola prompted a Code Red call, but officers don’t believe there to be any danger to the community, and the call was later rescinded.
Officers were called about 3 a.m. Friday to the corner of Vermont and Neosho streets where three people, including one on a bicycle and another on a scooter were spotted for “potential suspicious behavior,” Bob Droessler of the Iola Police Department reported.
As officers arrived the one on the bicycle fled to a nearby wooded area.
As officers followed, they heard what may have been a pair of gunshots, prompting a more extensive search, and a few hours later, the Code Red call.
Officers identified the other two subjects, who said they did not know the third person.
