Eugene, OR – Eugene Police officers responded to a reported dispute in the 2100 block of Amirante Street at 12:25 a.m. on March 25.
Shortly after, callers reported hearing gunshots, prompting additional officers to respond in emergency mode.
Witnesses saw four males leaving the area in a white sedan. Officers canvassed the scene and discovered spent shell casings but found no evidence that the residence or any vehicles had been struck.
Residents of the home reported being confronted by individuals outside, and investigators believe one person fired a gun into the air.
