No injuries were reported, and police believe it was an isolated incident.
Tredyffrin Township Police tell FOX 29 they do not believe the vehicles were targeted for any reason.
An owner of one of the cars that had the driver's side window shot out, a flat tire, and several bullet holes, says she had no idea what happened until police knocked on her door.
Phillip Silverstone says he was awake when the shots were fired. He says the quiet, family-friendly condo community has had occasional, minor issues with juveniles and vandalism--but nothing like this.
"I heard this horrendous sound and it was pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve heard bullets, but I knew these were bullets," he says. "It’s troubling, yeah, and it’s spooky only because its 2:15 in the morning and you’re the only person that you think is up and there’s somebody walking around with what you may think is a rifle."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
