The shooting took place around 8:15 p.m., Wednesday, June 23 on Francis Avenue in Pittsfield, Lieutenant Michael Maddalena said. 

Arriving police units located ballistic evidence in the roadway and a parked vehicle had also been struck. 

Further investigation showed that one round had struck the side of one of the apartment buildings as well, Maddalena said.

 A dark-colored sedan was seen leaving the area at a high rate of speed, he added.

There were no reported injuries. 

"This is not believed to be a random act," Maddalena said.

The incident remains under investigation.
