Wheeling police are investigating a report of shots fired on Thursday night in what they said they believe was gang-related activity.

Police responded to the shots in the 100 block of St. Armand Lane in Wheeling at 6 p.m. Thursday and found no one was injured, said Deputy Chief John Teevans.

According to the preliminary investigation, a group of people were walking on the sidewalk when a dark-colored SUV pulled up alongside them.

Someone reportedly got out of the vehicle and fire shots with a rifle-type weapon.

No suspects are in custody and police do not have further description about the car, weapon or people involved.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Wheeling Police Department at (847) 459-2632, or the Investigations Unit at (847) 459-2690.
