Police said they received a number of calls the evening of May 13 from people who heard a series of gunshots in the 8800 block of Flowerstock Row. Investigators arrived and discovered a 27-year old security guard who said he’d been confronted by three men and punched in the face. One of the assailants fired multiple shots at him as he fled, the guard told police. All of the shots missed. The men stole cash from his security vehicle, the guard said.
Police never identified the victim or said what he was guarding.
