Two Great Bend men were taken to jail early Sunday after shots were fired at 1318 Macarthur Road. Dennis Morrison was initially booked on a charge of attempted first-degree murder and Jacob Keenan was booked on charges of aggravated burglary and criminal threat, although further investigation led to lesser charges for both men.A white, 2002 Ford Taurus with six bullet holes in the front and two in the back was impounded within an hour of the altercation.Police Chief Dean Akings said three people called 911 around 12:30 a.m. Sunday and reported up to nine shots had been fired in the area. Officers learned that Morrison, who lives at 1318 Macarthur Road, had fired a handgun at the car Keenan was driving.Authorities believe Keenan drove to the house because, earlier that night, Morrison had kicked a woman out of his house.
