050913i-Jefferson-ParkPolice are investigating shots fired at about 10:40 p.m. Wednesday outside the Jefferson Park Apartments in North Cambridge.

When they arrived there in response to neighborsโ€™ reports of gunshots, Cambridge Police found โ€œmultiple spent shell casingsโ€ but no victims, said Dan Riviello, the police departmentโ€™s director of communications.

A silver or gray minivan was seen fleeing the area, Riviello said.

โ€œAll indications at this point in the investigation are that this incident was not random in nature,โ€ Riviello said.

Information from the community is โ€œcriticalโ€ to solving these types of crimes, police said, and anyone with information is asked to call Cambridge Police at (617) 349-3300. Anonymous reports can be left at (617) 349-3359; sent by text message to 84741 (begin your text with TIP650, then type your message); or by email by visiting CambridgePolice.org/Tips.
