About 4:15 a.m., a south Lincoln resident was awakened by the sound of three quick gunshots. Police found a damaged windshield on a car in the 4000 block of Teri Lane.
There were three impact points — likely from a small caliber weapon — in the windshield, the police report said.
Then, about 6:50 p.m., police were notified that shots had been fired on R Street between 24th and 25th streets.

Man hurt attempting to paraglide from car
A 22-year-old Lincoln man broke his back in a paragliding accident Sunday night.
Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner said Timofey Dudin was attempting to paraglide, behind a car driven by 20-year-old Aleksandra Dudin in a parking lot on the west side of Pawnee Lake.
Timofey Dudin had been in the air 20 or 25 feet when the tow rope detached from the car and he descended. Wagner said the fall left him with a couple fractured vertebra.
He was taken to BryanLGH Medical Center West. His condition was not immediately available Monday.
3 arrested after police find 10 lbs. of marijuana
A broken headlight caught the officer’s attention, but the smell of marijuana coming from the car clenched it, and the officer stopped them just before midnight Friday.
Officer Katherine Finnell said it happened on Hudson Street, between 13th and 14th. The officer searched the car and found a bag with 14 compressed bricks of marijuana.
They arrested three men — Victor Garcia, 26, and Mario Nuncio, 22, both of 3434 Frost Court, and Antony Fuentes, 25, of Thornton, Colo. — on suspicion of felony possession of marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.
