Investigators have indicated that they do not believe the shooting was a random attack.

Approximately an hour later, police were dispatched to the intersection of Riverdale Avenue and Morris Street in response to reports of multiple gunshots fired

Police told News 12 that they recovered one shell casing. There were no injuries or property damage. Police say it appears to be a targeted shooting but what led up to it is still being investigated.

Police say it does not appear that these shootings are connected and there is no threat to the community at large.
