Two people opened fire on an apartment complex in Burlington, Massachusetts, early Wednesday morning before driving off in a stolen vehicle, police said.

No one was hurt in the shooting at the Avalon apartment complex, which Burlington police said is believed to be a targeted act. A total of 21 gunshots were fired by the two men outside a building on Arboretum Way about 3:45 a.m.

They arrived and left in a vehicle that had been stolen in Everett earlier Wednesday morning, according to police. It was found abandoned later in another neighborhood near the Avalon.

Madison Finney was shaken when she saw the investigators out Wednesday morning.

“If this happens again, I have to leave," she told NBC10 Boston.

Neighbor Jeana was sleeping in her apartment with the windows down when the shots rang out.

“I woke up startled and I thought I heard like six shots," she said. “From what I heard it was all fired at once.” 

The neighbors said they did receive a message from management but it offered few answers.

No arrests have been announced. Police said they were investigating but that there's not believed to be a threat to the general public.
