CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Police in Corvallis now say that while gunshots were heard near a rooming house early Wednesday, no bullets actually hit the house. Investigators initially said they found exterior wall damage consistent with gunshots, but Sgt. Jef Van Arsdall says those holes had actually been drilled as part of a construction project.

No injuries were reported after five or six gunshots were heard shortly after 6 a.m. Wednesday in a neighborhood near the Oregon State University campus. The Gazette-Times says the house is a residence for international students.

Police found an area where it appears bullets were fired into the ground and have recovered one bullet.

A person in the area at the time reported seeing two males running away.
