Officers canvassed the curb line of the 6400 block of Kansas Lane between Westmoreland Avenue and Allegheny Avenue which resulted in locating two more spent shell casings.

When the suspect vehicle was no longer in frame of the camera, the sound of 12 gunshots can be heard. Investigation is ongoing.
