“The person, or someone within that house, opened fire and fired seven rounds, slightly injuring a teenage boy and apparently was scaring … people who were involved in Nerf wars.” were involved,” Schaeper said.
The sheriff’s office said Tuesday that a house belonging to the 26-year-old man on the run was part of the crime scene.

A neighboring home is the same one listed as the home address of Joe Mixon, who was issued a warrant for his arrest earlier this year that was later expunged. According to Hamilton County Auditor’s records, no changes have been made to the property since then.
There was at least one evidence marker in Joe Mixon’s yard. Deputies spread the crime scene tape to his home around 11 p.m.
Half an hour later, the deputy was seen banging on Joe Mixon’s door, loudly identifying himself as the sheriff’s representative and asking the homeowner to come outside.
He let a car into the driveway of the house at approximately 12:15 p.m.
A law enforcement officer arrived at approximately 1:30 am carrying an envelope of documents. Several delegates entered the house minutes later. Torch rays can be seen all around the house. At around two o’clock in the afternoon, three representatives came inside with the items of demonetisation.
Around 3:20 a.m. the crime scene tape was removed and the deputies left without making an arrest.
