At 12:43 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to the 1200 block of Farmsworth Court located in the Victoria Gardens subdivision in reference to a weapons complaint. Two homes located in this block sustained projectile impacts from a rifle. The shots were discharged from a wooded area located to the east behind the homes. Officers processed the scene and collected what is believed to be a fragment from a projectile. No residents were injured from the gunshots.
