A person fired two shotgun rounds into the front entry of the Planned Parenthood clinic in Helena Thursday evening, according to local police and a spokesperson from Planned Parenthood of Montana.
No injuries were reported from the shooting, which took place shortly before 5:45 p.m.
Helena police officers could not be reached Thursday night for comment about the incident. In a Friday morning statement, Helena Police Department Assistant Chief Corey Bailey said officers responded to reports of gunshot in the neighborhood at 5:44 p.m. and were subsequently called by a business informing them that someone had shot “the front entry of their business.”
“It was determined that an individual had walked up to the front of the business and fired two rounds from a shotgun. There were no injuries reported and the shots were not directed towards anyone,” the statement said. “Officers and detectives were able to develop suspect information and the case is active.”
Bailey later confirmed to Montana Free Press that no suspects are in custody at this time. He declined to say whether officers and detectives have video surveillance footage of the shooter from around the building’s premises.
In a statement Friday morning, Planned Parenthood of Montana communications coordinator Mary Sullivan confirmed that no injuries occurred as a result of the shooting. She declined to say whether anyone was in the building at the time of the incident.
