A dangerous situation unfolded Thursday evening along Speed and Letitia streets when multiple shots were reportedly fired at a moving vehicle.

Shortly after 6:30 p.m. Thursday, officers responded to the area for a report of shots fired. When officers arrived, they found a gray 2019 Chrysler 300 sedan in the street with bullet holes in the front bumper, the hood and the left rear passenger window. The vehicle was unoccupied when officers arrived.

Officers did learn later the driver of the vehicle — who was not the owner of the vehicle — was not injured. The identity of the driver, nor the identity of the vehicle’s owner were not released by the department.
