While hearing the gunshots, Nathaniel saw a bullet go through the window she was sitting next to.  She said she immediately jumped onto the floor with her granddaughter while the bullet went into the kitchen wall and another hit the bedroom wall.

20-year-old Felicia Dickerson was lying on her bed when the bullet struck the wall outside of her bedroom.

Police located shell casings in two different locations along Portland Street.  They were able to locate two .40 Smith and Wesson shell casings in front of a home on Portland Street and another pair of shell casings on Portland Street near Friendship Street.

Providence police spoke with a few residents on Portland Street who say that they saw two vehicles chasing each other down the street at the same time the shots were heard.  The cars were described as a four door silver pickup truck and a gold Toyota Camry.

There were no injuries reported during this incident, according to police.
