UPDATE @ 8:00 p.m. (July 28):

Officers put out a “Signal 99” (officer in need of assistance) call after reports of shots-fired around 10:00 p.m. Friday night in the 3000 block of Benchwood Road.

Cameron Glover of Butler Twp. says he was in shock when he heard an officer was in distress near his neighborhood.

“It always seems to be local pedestrians or an innocent bystander that gets hit by these bullets. When they go flying around the neighborhood they don’t have a name on them, it is quite dangerous. The police got to watch out,” said Glover.

Three people were detained, but police have not stated whether they have made any arrests or if they have any suspects at this time.

UPDATE @ 11:50 p.m.: Three people have been detained in the shots-fired investigation, Butler Twp. police tell us.

The initial police dispatch was on a report of people reported to be pointing guns at each other.

According to police, the "signal 99" (officer in need of assistance) was activated because the Butler Twp. officer who first arrived on scene heard two gunshots and didn't know whether he was being fired upon or whether the people were firing at each other.

Everyone took off running when the officer arrived.

Detectives have been called to the scene.

Police continue to block traffic on Benchwood Road until further notice.

UPDATE @ 11:05 p.m.:

Police have blocked traffic to Benchwood Road as the investigation of the shots-fired report continues in Butler Twp.

Officer from Dayton, Vandalia and Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies are on scene.
