COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

UPDATE: Shortly after officers were dispatched to the 1500 block of Typhoon Court, several callers stated shots were being fired from two cars as one chased the other. 

Boone County Joint Communications is reporting Fenimore Drive in north Columbia was shut down due to a shooting investigation by the police beginning at 5:47 p.m.

Columbia Police Department said that nobody was hurt during the altercation, but the shootout did startle people that live in the neighborhood like Mackenzie Woods.

Several homes and a car had been hit by gunfire along Fenimore Drive near Americus Drive, Native Dancer Drive and Typhoon Court but no one was struck by the gunfire. 

Woods said, "Honestly, I was just kidding when I was like, oh my god there's gun shots, I was just thinking, Memorial Day weekend, and then we started hearing like the light and sirens, and I was like, oh, wow."

Woods said that she was working in her backyard when she heard multiple shots outside of Fenimore Drive and that she could see some of the cars as they drove by.

"We did actually you can see from my backyard just like the tops of the car and the tires flooring and they took off down this road,"  said Woods.

Brett and Matt Strouse have been moving from their house on Fenimore, and Friday was their last day in that house when they heard the shots being fired.

"We're just sitting in the truck and we hear like the popping of the guns, and they came ripping around the corner really fast and were just shooting right in front of us. It was crazy," said Strouse.

Brett Strouse said that he has lived in this neighborhood for five years and has never seen anything like this before.

The Columbia Police Department said they have no suspects at this time.
