A few hours later around 11:30 p.m., Springfield police responded to the 800 block of Rice Street on another report of a gun being fired at a residence.
The victim told police she was laying down when she heard gunshots outside. When she got up to check, she saw a silver pickup truck fleeing south on Cypress Street from Rice Street, the report says.
