Sutherland said there were no injuries as a result of the shooting.

Police believe the shooting was a targeted act of violence and not a random act.

Sutherland said the evidence leads investigators to believe that the unoccupied vehicles in the driveway and a detached garage structure were the targeted areas and not the occupied portion of the home.

Evidence from the scene was collected and sent to the state lab for analysis.

Sutherland said this is an active and on-going investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact the Cheshire Police Department Investigative Division Tip Line at (203)-271-5534.
