Police responded within two minutes after numerous 911 calls reporting gunfire, according to authorities. Officers reported finding numerous spent shell casings on the street. It was determined that nobody in the home was injured and that the suspects had fled the scene.

Witnesses said they observed as many as three vehicles leaving the scene at a high rate of speed.

"Although the investigation is ongoing, it is clear that the home was targeted and this was not a random event," said Director of Public Safety Frank Demers. "Detectives are working with the family to determine why their home was targeted."
