“There were no reports of physical injuries as a result of the incident,” Const. Brad Hickey said. “The investigation is still ongoing and very active.”
Police believe it was a targeted shooting, making it the second one reported in the past week.

“Obviously, any sort of gun violence or violence of any nature is concerning,” said Hickey.
