Later, DPD told FOX31 that the window was broken due to shots fired and that police were now investigating a shooting.

The building was closed at the time, police said, so there were no injuries reported.

DPD said the incident happened sometime overnight, and that the broken glass was located on the 23rd and 25th floors.
