Authorities responded to an incident on Aberdeen Street in Bossley Park around 6:30 am yesterday.
Upon their arrival, officers discovered several gunshots had been fired at a residence and a vehicle parked outside. The shots originated from an Audi sedan, which swiftly left the location.
Thankfully, the occupants of the house, an elderly couple in their 80s, were not injured during the incident.
This marks the second time in as many days that the property has been targeted, although investigators believe the homeowners are innocent and have no ties to any criminal organizations.
Subsequently, police found the Audi abandoned after it collided near the intersection of Mimosa and Prairie Vale Road.
The occupants of the vehicle allegedly fled the scene on foot.
During a search of the sedan, police allegedly seized an automatic firearm believed to be an AK-47.
A crime scene was established at the home and the place of the crash.
