The elderly couple residing in the house, both in their 80s, fortunately escaped harm.

This incident marked the second time in two days that the house was targeted by gunfire. Law enforcement officials suspect that the homeowners are innocent, with no apparent ties to any criminal activity.

Shortly after, police found the Audi abandoned after it had crashed at a nearby intersection of Mimosa and Prairie Vale Road.

Over a dozen bullets were fired at the white Holden.
