MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Police are investigating after about two dozen gunshots were fired into the house of an Alabama lawmaker who wasn’t home at the time.

The Mobile Police Department tells local news outlets that the shooting happened around 5 a.m. Thursday at the home of state Sen. Vivian Davis Figures.

Mobile police spokesman Lt. Christopher Levy said no one was home and no injuries reported.

Levy said the incident “does not appear to be a random act.” Police counted 23 shots.

Neighbors in Mobile’s Toulminville area said they heard the shots but didn’t see anyone.
