ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (WAVY) — On Sunday, March 3, officers in Elizabeth City responded to a report of shots fired in the 100 block of Forest Skipper Drive, police said.

Officers arrived and found a home was struck by gunfire, but no injuries were reported. Officers located 9mm shell casings across the street from the victim’s residence.

The suspects were observed fleeing the scene in a black Nissan Maxima, but they abandoned the car at some point and ran away on foot. Officers later arrested the suspects and seized two 9mm handguns.
