The incident was the the fourth city shooting in less than 24 hours and police believe it is linked to another shooting in nearby Machon Bank, which took place less than one hour earlier.

At around 6:54pm, police were called to Machon Bank after receiving reports from residents that two rival groups fired gunshots at each other.

Upon arrival police discovered damage to two vehicles and a window of a nearby property consistent with firearm discharge. A firearm at a location near to Machon Bank was later recovered, police said.
