Police arrived at the scene at midnight after Shotspotter technology detected the sound of gunshots. Exposition Avenue was closed near the intersection with South Newton Street and it was re-opened approximately five hours later.

No one was hurt, but police said they were investigating the situation as an officer-involved shooting even though no one was hit because an officer did fire their weapon.
