People in three cars engaged in gunfire Sunday morning in a northeast Salem neighborhood, according to the Salem Police Department. There were no reported injuries.
The agency said witnesses reported that “the occupants of three vehicles had shot at each other before leaving the area. Some of the suspects were also seen running from one of the vehicles.”
Police got the call at 10:45 a.m. to the Northeast Carlton Way and Williams Avenue, about four blocks east of Portland Road.
Northgate Wesleyan Church is at that intersection and, according to its website, its Sunday morning service was scheduled to start at 11 a.m. Sunday.
“We know these events are traumatic and can disrupt an entire neighborhood,” Detective Lt. Michael Bennett said in a statement. “We want residents to know we are working very hard to identify those involved and to bring a sense of safety back to the neighborhood.”
Police asked that anyone with information or video from home surveillance cameras call the Salem Police Tips Line at 503-588-8477.
