Bloomington Police have not yet made any arrests in connection with a shooting that occurred early Sunday morning.\nTwo officers heard five or six gunshots when they were in the area of the Seminary Square Kroger on another call, said BPD Sgt. David Drake, reading from the police report. According to the report, the officers saw two vehicles traveling southbound, stopped at different locations.\nBoth vehicles had signs of damage from gunshots, Drake said.\nOfficers seized five guns from "various individuals involved," Drake said, and all the individuals had permits for the guns. According to the report, all of the individuals said they did not know anything about the incident.\nAfter officers seized the guns and identified the individuals, they impounded the two vehicles for further forensic information.\nThis incident is the second in a week BPD responded to involving a shooting. \nBloomington police officers arrested a Bloomington resident last Sunday morning after he shot a gun in the parking lot behind Dunkirk Square, according to the report.\nIn that incident, witnesses told police that Bloomington resident Andrew R. Hoffman, 23, had been trying to start a fight with another man in a parking lot who was trying to walk away from him. They said Hoffman then pulled a gun from his waistband and waved it around, threatening the people around him. They said he fired a shot in an unknown direction.\nNo one was shot and Hoffman was arrested on preliminary charges of criminal recklessness with a firearm and pointing a firearm, both of which are class D felonies.
