LOWER CHICHESTER TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Police in Delaware County are investigating a shooting involving a group of pedestrians and a passing vehicle.

Investigators say a pedestrian opened fire on a car as it left a dollar store on Summit Street in Lower Chichester.

Gunshots can be heard on nearby surveillance video obtained by Action News.

The vehicle fled and crashed into another car a few blocks away.

"The car that was getting away came up the street and rear-ended another car," recalled Marge Powell, who lives nearby.

Police say the people inside the car took off on foot. It's unclear if anyone returned fire during the incident.

"There's nothing for these kids to do. All our parks are rundown, there's nowhere for the kids to hang out so they kind of like torment the stores," said an unidentified woman who used to work at the dollar store.

The shooting is leaving neighbors like Powell concerned for her safety, especially after a bullet hit the side of her home several months ago.

Police say the shooter left behind a bicycle that's now part of the investigation.

No arrests have been made and it's still unclear if anyone was injured.

Police are working to determine what led up to the gunfire.
