<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">At approximately 2:47 a.m. on Aug. 3, Columbia police responded to reports of shots fired in the 800 block of East Broadway.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On arrival, officers spoke with two adult male victims, who reported being shot at. Through investigation, officers identified Charlie Sneed, 41, of Colorado as the suspect. Sneed was arrested for first-degree assault, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon and tampering with physical evidence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Both evidence of shots being fired and the firearm were recovered at the scene. There have been no reports of injuries at this time. It is believed this was a targeted event; therefore, there is no outstanding threat to the wider public.</span></p>

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Columbia Police Department at 573.874.7652. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">To provide information without leaving your name or number, call CrimeStoppers at 573.875.8477.
