SEYMOUR — Officers with the Seymour Police Department responded to a report of shots fired Tuesday afternoon, with investigators concluding the incident was unintentional.

At about 4:20 p.m., police responded to the 800 block of West McDonald Street in reference to a shot being fired into a house. No one was home when the shot was fired and no injuries were reported, according to Lt. C.J. Foster.

Patrol officers arrived on the scene and found the shot came from a neighboring residence.
