Officers with CSPD were sent to a call for shots fired near the 300 block of N. Circle Drive at 10:59 a.m. Sunday.
When they arrived, police reported that someone had fired a gun in the area and then left in a red Dodge SUV.
According to CSPD, officers found the SUV at 12:16 p.m., and they said that it was occupied by two people.
