FEDERAL HEIGHTS, Colo. — Police are searching for suspects after someone fired paintballs at picketers outside of a King Soopers in Federal Heights on Thursday.
The incident happened around 12:45 p.m. at the King Soopers at West 84th Avenue and North Pecos Street.
The paintballs were apparently fired from a vehicle, according to police, but no vehicle description was available.
The Federal Heights Police Department said there were "victims," but it wasn’t immediately clear if anyone was hit by the paintballs or they were just shaken by the incident.
However, no physical injuries were reported, the police department said.

King Soopers was granted a temporary restraining order Tuesday against the labor union that represents its striking employees, saying that picketers were harassing customers and preventing them from entering stores and parking lots.
A King Soopers spokesperson said Wednesday that the company's team negotiated through the night as it worked to reach an agreement on a new contract with the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7.
Thursday marked the ninth day of the King Soopers strike.
