Lawrence police are grappling with a devastating incident following the shooting deaths of three individuals at an apartment complex on Friday night.
Responding to a call about shots fired at around 7:16 p.m., officers rushed to the scene located in the 4400 block of Duxbury Road, home to the Jamestowne Apartments, near East 46th Street and North Post Road.
Upon arrival, law enforcement found three victims suffering from gunshot wounds, all tragically pronounced dead at the scene, confirmed LPD.
