Neighbors said police were asking them if they saw anyone throw a bottle at one of the windows.

"It's pretty shocking," Isis Johnson, who lives nearby, said. "I go to work in the area pretty frequently. It's pretty quiet in the area, a lot of older people so typically that type of situation doesn't happen within the area so to come in this morning and it's early this morning, it's shocking."

No injuries were reported and no one is in custody. Area Two detectives are investigating.
