No injuries were reported after shots were fired in a River North parking lot early Sunday morning.

Officers on patrol heard loud, possibly automatic gunfire around 2:36 a.m., followed by a white sedan speeding south across the LaSalle Street Bridge, according to preliminary reports.

Responding officers found shell casings in a parking lot near 430 North LaSalle Street. But, no gunshot victims were located at the scene, and no one later arrived at a hospital with gunshot-related injuries.

An officer who reviewed surveillance video determined the getaway car was a white Audi. No arrests have been made and it is unclear who, if anyone, the gunman was trying to shoot.
