Police investigated a report of shots fired in the area of Plush Mill Road and the I-476 overpass, forcing the temporary closure of the roadway shortly before 8:30 pm Wednesday.
There were no signs of anyone injured or property damaged following an extensive search by responding officers, including Sgt. Michael Montgomery and Patrolmen Michael Dolan and Jordan Culbreath.
A witness walking his dog told officers he heard three or four gunshots coming from a passing silver vehicle with tinted windows. The scene was processed by Detective Michael Erickson, who recovered several shell casings that Chief David Splain said would be submitted for ballistic analysis.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Nether Providence Township Police Department Detective Division at 610-892-2875, ext. 110.
