TEMPLE, Texas Temple Police Chief Shawn Reynolds spoke to 6 News Friday, after shocking video of a shootout was released.
The incident happened in the 1800 Block of East Avenue K near the Wayman Manor Apartment Complex.
The brazen shootout was caught on camera leaving police searching for a handful of juveniles and young adults. We were very fortunate in this circumstance, in fact a couple of rounds went through a vacant apartment windows. We were told later that was where the kids used to sleep prior to this incident. Thank goodness those tenants moved out, said Reynolds.

A 300-square-foot âhealing gardenâ was starting to take shape Saturday morning behind the community center of the Lee Crossley Veterans Community, on Honor Lane in Temple.
Amber Kelley, a city of Temple stormwater specialist, said it was a joint effort by the city, Keep Temple Beautiful, Girl Scout Troop 8226 and the Un-Included Club. About 30 volunteers worked on the raised-bed garden and on planting trees.
âPrograms like this help the community as a whole,â Kelley said. âWeâre all chipping in and helping the veterans. Weâre building the planters. Theyâll be wheelchair accessible.â
Covering the backyard with soil and using crushed granite for pathways, she said at mid-morning, would probably be a two-day project.
