Police say they received multiple 9-1-1 calls about the gunfire. Officers from the Patrol Division were dispatched to the area of King Street at about 1:48 a.m when someone reported hearing two gunshots, and then found single hole in their residence. It is believed that the shots came from outside of the home.
