Moments later, one of the suspects, who was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, pulls out a handgun and fires multiple shots towards a residence. The suspects then run away.

According to police transmissions, the suspects fled toward Waters Landing Local Park at 13701 Waters Landing Drive.

A person who called 911 reported hearing a loud bang. The caller had checked a Ring doorbell camera at the front of their home and the footage showed people shooting outside, according to police transmissions.

It is unclear if the person who called 911 was inside the residence hit by gunfire.
