"The two of them walked outside the restaurant and shots were fired," Hartman told the Journal & Courier. "(The) suspect who fired the shots — not the employee — was gone when police arrived. No damages, no injuries and no arrests."

At around noon on Saturday, shots were heard at the 1600 block of Hurley Street.

"Several reports of multiple shots fired," Hartman said. "Officers located multiple shell casings. No damages, no injuries (and) no arrests."

Hartman stated that both of investigations are ongoing.
