Charleston police officers responded to a report of shots fired on Monday afternoon on the city's west side. The call came in around 2 p.m. according to Kanawha County dispatchers.

A neighbor said Monday afternoon that they're worried about the violence on their block. "It's getting bad over here. It's getting bad. It's just the way it goes around here I guess," said Jerry Warrington.
Police said they didn't have a motive or a suspect on Monday afternoon.
In June, a man was shot five times by a pellet gun on the west side. Earlier in 2012, police investigated a more serious shooting.
The community continues to work with police, government officials, local businesses and churches to combat violence on Charleston's west side.
