Police are looking for suspects in a pair of drive-by shootings overnight in Charlotte, including one incident in which someone fired into a residence occupied by a child.

Police say someone fired six bullets into a house about 1:30 a.m. on Goff Street, near Rozzells Ferry and Hoskins roads in northwest Charlotte.

The house was occupied by two adults and a young girl. Police told WCNC-TV, the Observer's news partner, that the bullets hit the front room of the house, and two entered the kitchen area.

A neighbor reported seeing a cream-colored Acura sedan leaving the area after the shots were fired, WCNC is reporting.

The second shooting happened about 5:15 a.m., in the 7200 block of Point Lake Drive, off Albemarle Road east of W.T. Harris Boulevard. In this case, police say, someone fired shots into an occupied apartment unit.

Anyone with information in these cases is asked to call Crime Stoppers, 704-334-1600.
