Central Berks Regional Police Department are investigating a shooting that occurred on Wednesday, 4:57pm, near the intersection of Carsonia Avenue and Harvey Avenue in Lower Alsace Township.
Police were initially dispatched to the area for a report of shots fired. An investigation revealed that a newer model black Ford Focus fired four shots at a black Acura MDX.
