At least three bullets were fired through a window while the homeowners hid inside a Niagara Falls house.

The homeowners were in their residence when suddenly at least three bullets were shot through a front window of a house on Armstrong Drive near Lauren Court in Niagara Falls, Niagara Regional Police said in a press release.
