Morristown police officers responded to Abbett Avenue late Monday night to find bullet shell casings on the ground near New Street, nj.com reported. A caller told police they heard gun shots and a speeding vehicle, according to nj.com, but no vehicle was found. Morristown Patch readers also said the road was blocked off by police on both ends around 10 p.m. Police were not immediately available for comment.
