The Elyria Police Department is investigating after receiving a "shots fired" call in the 1800 block of Middle Avenue early New Year's Day.

In a Facebook post, Elyria Chief of Police James Welsh said that thankfully, no injuries were reported, but he wants to remind everyone that discharging firearms within city limits is a crime.

He went on to say, "The Elyria Police Department places the same level of resources into shots fired calls and non-fatal shootings as we do homicide investigations. These are extremely dangerous incidents, and many times it is simply luck that no one is injured."
