Boys reportedly threaten girl with knife

The Kalispell Police Department received a report that two boys age 7 to 10 years old pulled a pocket knife on a little girl, who ran into her apartment yelling for her mother to help her. Officers located the boys’ home, but were unable to find the boys themselves.

A woman reported her ex had smashed her car with a metal baseball bat and threatened to hit her while she was at his house picking up their children. After she and the children got inside the vehicle, he reportedly hit the side door with the bat and ripped the side mirror off. She said he told her he was at her house with police because she refused to take their children on a night that he was supposed to have them.

A man reported he heard two gunshots, which sounded like they came from a .38 special, two houses south of his location on College Avenue. Officers responded to the scene and found the people there had heard nothing, but had dropped a ladder and thought that might be what the man had heard.
