Police in Arlington, Massachusetts, say a drive-by shooting was not a random act.
Police say the shooting occurred overnight into Wednesday at 21 Old Colony Road in the residential neighborhood of Arlington Heights.
At least six shots were fired, confirmed Chief Frederick Ryan of the Arlington Police Department.
"We do not believe that this is a random act," Chief Ryan said. "We think that this house was targeted by the suspects."
Police say the older couple that lives in the home were present at the time of the shooting. They were not injured.
"The home was occupied and there is a bedroom on the back side of where some of the bullets penetrated, so clearly somebody could have been injured and we're grateful that nobody was injured by all of the gunfire."
Marie Landers, a neighbor, says the shots rang out around 9:10 p.m. She says the couple has lived in the neighborhood for four decades.

Arlington Police ask anyone with any information to give them a call at 781-643-1212.
