Two people, a man and a woman, were walking down Main Street in the 1100 block when they were shot with what was later determined to be an Orbeez gun.

According to the Longmont Police Department, an Orbeez gun is like a BB gun but shoots small gel balls instead of BBs. 

The two individuals who were shot reported seeing what they believed to be a BB gun which was "stuck out of the window of a vehicle travelling northbound on Main St.," according to a news release from LPD. 

The man was struck three times across the chest but did not report any injuries. The woman was struck three to four times in the neck and under the jawline and reported some pain. Neither victim requested medical attention, according to the news release.

The police are investigating the situation including requesting video from nearby businesses. 

LPD is asking the public to share any information they may on the incident by calling 303-651-8501 and referencing case #22-10177.
