Rochester, New York – Just after midnight on Wednesday, two separate residences were struck by gunfire in the area of Sherman Street.
According to officials, a ShotSpotter activation prompted officers to respond to the 200 block of Sherman Street.
When they arrived at the scene, they found evidence of gunshots that had been fired in the surrounding area.
According to investigators, they were able to discover two houses, both occupied, had been struck by gunfire.
No one inside the homes was injured or struck by the gunshots, authorities said.
This incident follows a string of recent crimes that left seven other residences with bullet holes. After being shot inside their homes, last week, a total of two people were hospitalized.
There are no suspects in custody at this time.
Police ask anyone with more information to call 911.
