Deputies were responding to a report of shots fired at a residence in the 80 block of Wall Street \u2014 where a bullet hole was found in the home\u2019s back door \u2014 when additional 911 calls came in reporting similar incidents, including the Osmun Street shooting, the sheriff\u2019s office said.
