Several Lakewood residents in the Arlington area were awakened early Sunday morning by what appears to be the sound of gunshots.
In a home security video provided to TLS, five shots ring out over a 20-second span.
Although they were previously unaware, the Lakewood Police Department says it definitely sounds like gunshots and if anyone has additional information, they should come forward.
There were no reports of injuries or damage in the area.
I heard them at 1 am. Sounded really close by
He’s exercising his 2nd amendment. Nothing wrong with that
Just another typical day in Lakewood
It’s possibly someone hunting or doing gun practice in the old tent city which is right near the Arlington neighborhood
The shots are very evenly spaced…typical of someone doing target shooting. I guess they didn’t want to pay for time at a local range.
@shua, why does he need to do target shooting at 3am?
First commenter said it was 1:00 a.m. (not 3), and it’s pretty obvious why someone would choose to shoot under cover if darkness: less likely to attract curious onlookers, especially children, as opposed to shooting in daylight.
Must have been using a Starlight Scope.
