Madison police are investigating reports of shots fired just off the Beltline on Stoughton Road.

Dane County dispatch said they received a call around 1:50 p.m. reporting multiple shots fired in the intersection of Broadway and Stoughton Road.

Witnesses reported seeing someone firing bullets at another vehicle, officials said. Initial reports suggest 10 to 12 rounds were fired.

Officers have recovered multiple shell casings from the road. No injuries have been reported as of 3 p.m., officials said.

Witnesses told police the suspect in the shooting may have been in a silver sedan that was seen driving erratically before and after the shooting, according to the release.

Officials said the silver sedan was driving south on South Stoughton Road just before the shooting, and got onto the westbound Beltline after the shooting. The vehicle then exited at Monona Drive and got back onto the Beltline heading east.

Officials ask anyone with information on the vehicle to call 608-255-2345.
