The caller reported a group of teenagers was outside their residence.

When the group noticed the occupant of the home, one individual allegedly fired multiple rounds toward the home. The residence and several nearby vehicles were struck by gunfire, but no injuries were reported.

Responding Patrol deputies searched the area but were unable to locate any suspects.

-Three counts of menacing

-Criminal mischief

-Unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon
