Several witnesses also told police they saw "muzzle flashes" coming from one of the vehicles. Officers investigating the incident found multiple shell casings near the intersections of Pine St and Orange St, and Pine St. and Prospect St. The investigators also found bullet holes in a first-floor bedroom at 541 Pines Street and damage to several cars.
