Investigators say that at 10:30 p.m., they were called to a home rented out on AirBmB in the Mohawk Road West and Magnolia Driver area.
“One of the occupants negligently discharged a firearm within the residence causing minor damage,” officers said Tuesday.

He is described as a Black male standing five-feet-ten inches tall, with short dreadlocks, wearing a blue track suit and white sneakers.
At 11:50 p.m., officers were called to a third shooting scene at Douglas and Mars avenues.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call Division One or Division Three criminal investigation branches or Crime Stoppers.
