Pittsburgh police were alerted late Friday of shots fired in the 400 block of South Atlantic Avenue of Pittsburgh’s Bloomfield neighborhood.

Pittsburgh police are investigating shots that were fired Friday night at an occupied vehicle in the city’s Bloomfield neighborhood.

No one was injured, but a Toyota Camry was damaged by bullets, police said.

Police said they were called to the scene just after 9:15 p.m. to several ShotSpotter alerts in the 400 block of South Atlantic Avenue. They arrived to find a Toyota Camry that was running and unoccupied with the doors open, according to a report.

Three people who had been inside returned to the scene, police said, and told officers they were traveling behind a Jeep when two unknown males wearing masks began shooting toward their vehicle.

According to police, the driver of the Camry said they backed up to get away, sideswiping a parked vehicle and hitting another before fleeing on foot. The Camry was towed.

There were no arrests as of Saturday morning.
