According to authorities, two unknown people emerged from a vehicle and fired multiple shots at a residence on Mill Street. Law enforcement officers were called to the scene at approximately 10 a.m., Capt. Brode said.
Seven persons, both adults and juveniles, were inside the residence and no injuries were reported, Capt. Brode said.
