Springfield police responded to a shots-fired call on the east side at 1:03 p.m. Wednesday, executing a high-risk search warrant on a residence in the 200 block of Raffensperger Avenue (near St. Vincent de Paul) and finding no injuries as they collected evidence while the investigation continues.

Neighbors are outraged by the plan.
