Teal said everyone appeared to have fled the scene when the police arrived. Officers did find three shell casings at the scene and witnesses reported hearing 3-5 gunshots.

No injuries were reported and police say it doesn’t appear any of the rounds struck nearby buildings or vehicles. Officers are planning to return to the scene Monday to check if anything was struck by the shots, Teal said.
