St. Joseph police are investigating a couple of shootings last night in which shots were fired into occupied residences, but no one was hit.

Police report officers responded to a shooting call at the 1800 block of Martha Lane just before midnight. Around 10 to 15 shots were fired into an occupied house. None of the shots hit anyone.

While officers were on the scene at Martha Lane, they heard shots fired a few blocks away and responded to a second shooting about half an hour later at the 900 block of South 14th Street near Olive. Again, about 10 to 15 shots were fired into an occupied four-plex. Again, no one was hit by any of the shots. Police do report debris from the wall where a bullet passed through caused superficial wounds to the face of one occupant.

No suspects have been arrested.
