Witnesses began calling 911 at 2:30 AM Sunday to report multiple people were involved in a gun battle near the intersection of Pine Street and Melrose Avenue. Officers quickly arrived on the scene and saw multiple people fleeing the area on foot and in vehicles. Officers found almost 40 spent shell casings of various calibers, bullet damage to multiple vehicles and buildings, but no victims.
