Someone fired a paintball gun at eight teenagers and children Friday night in two separate incidents, hitting some of them, Wichita police said.

Although no one was seriously injured, paintball rounds can inflict serious wounds, said police Sgt. Bruce Watts.

The incidents are considered felony crimes, he said.

Police think the same two people in a white four-door car were involved.

The first incident occurred at 8:15 p.m. Friday in the 1500 block of North Murray. Someone fired a paintball gun at four children ages 8 to 12. In the second incident at about 9:45 p.m. Friday at Tyler and Shadow Lakes, someone fired at four people ages 15 to 17.
