Marana Police Department is investigating a report of shots fired at Gladden Farms Community Park, 12205 N. Tangerine Farms Road.

According to a news release from Marana Police, a citizen at the park reported what they believed to be gunfire, Wednesday morning.

KGUN 9 spoke with Robin Taylor who says she was playing with her 3-year-old grandson when she heard the shots go off.

"My grandson and I were over on the mounds playing with the monster trucks and I went to bend down to roll the monster truck down the hill and a bullet went...over here on the right hand side, not far," Taylor said. "Very fast and then I heard it hit the playground behind me and then I went into absolute panic mode and got my grandson to safety and there was rapid fire that kept happening. I called 911."

Officers responded and an initial investigation revealed that the reported gunfire may have originated from a nearby gun range, the news release said.

Marana Police are on the scene. KGUN 9 captured officers combing through a playground at the park.

Marana PD believes the incident was accidental and there are no injuries.

The investigation is ongoing.
