Report of gunshots leads police on wild goose chase
NORWICH – At around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday, police received an emergency call from business on Hale Street in the Town of Norwich reporting that a white male in a black SUV was firing a rifle from his vehicle.
Over half a dozen Chenango County Sheriff and Norwich Police Department patrol vehicles responded to the scene, arriving less than five minutes after dispatchers alerted law enforcement in the area. Police have made no arrest in the incident.
The caller told police that the gunshot originated from the city’s side of the Chenango River along the greenbelt, the dirt service road leading along the river behind the Norwich High School.
