Lincoln Police were called to a home near 27th and ‘Q’ Street twice in two days for incidents involving a gun. Around 3:15 Wednesday morning a 27-year-old Lincoln man was delivering a food order to that home.
“He told officers as he left the porch to walk back to his vehicle, an unknown man approached him, pointed a black handgun and yelled at him,” says LPD Public Information Officer Erika Thomas. “The delivery driver was able to leave the area and was not physically harmed.”
The suspect is described as a man in his 30s-40s, 5’8”-5’9”, 180-200 pounds wearing black pants and hair in cornrows. On Tuesday morning around 2:30 Thomas says officers were sent to the same residence on the report of gunshots.
Thomas says officers did not find any evidence of shots fired at the time. Just after 2:30 p.m., officers were called to the home next door on the report of a bullet located inside the home. “A 27-year-old woman told police she heard a noise around 2 a.m. and then discovered a broken window in the mudroom door when she woke up.”
Thomas says she later found a single bullet on a counter behind an air fryer. The house is directly north from the one police responded to Wednesday morning. Anyone with information on either of these incidents is asked to call Lincoln Police at 402-441-6000.
