HELENA — Helena Police say someone fired two shots at the front entry of a Planned Parenthood center in Helena on the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023.

Planned Parenthood of Montana’s communications coordinator said their Helena health center was closed Friday, giving staff a day off and allowing an investigation to continue.

“We are working very closely with law enforcement to investigate further and understand these details,” said Planned Parenthood of Montana Communications Coordinator Mary Sullivan. “But right now, we are focused on our team, our patients, and ensuring safety by continuing to coordinate with law enforcement.”

HPD says they responded to the 1500 block of Cannon Street around 5:45 p.m. Thursday, for a report of gunshots. They said while officers were checking the area they received a call from the center, reporting someone had shot their front door. The health center had already closed at the time.
