ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — Multiple juveniles are believed to be involved in an early morning shooting on Monday near the Pleasant Heights Apartment complex, an incident that resulted in no injuries but notable damage to surrounding property.

The St. Joseph Police Department confirmed an investigation is ongoing into a shooting that occurred Monday around 1:30 a.m. near the 3200 block of South 36th Street at the Pleasant Heights Apartment complex.

No one was injured, but juveniles of an unknown age are believed to have been involved in the incident, one that saw gunfire reportedly strike the exterior of an apartment multiple times, causing damage to the front door and entrance.

Unconfirmed security camera footage posted online by a resident at the complex shows a vehicle driving through the parking lot around the time of the shooting.

Police could not confirm how many juveniles were involved, the suspected ages of the individuals, or if any suspects are in custody at this time. Details on the cause of the incident remain under investigation.
