Windsor police are looking for two people after shots were fired in the city.
Police said they received information about a man and a woman firing a rifle in the Lauzon Road and Hemlock Road area shortly after midnight on Saturday.
The investigation, including review of surveillance video, determined that they were driving a white 2014 Buick Verano with Ontario licence plate BYDT74. That vehicle was reported stolen in early February.
"The suspects exited the vehicle and discharged a long gun numerous times," police said in a news release Tuesday afternoon. "The location is a remote area with no homes located in the immediate area. At one point it appeared that the male suspect was teaching the female suspect how to fire the gun."

Officers found fresh bullet holes on some street signs and hydro poles in the area and seized several spent casings.
The first suspect is described as a white man, 20-30 years old. The second suspect is described as a white woman.
"The illegal use of firearms is extremely dangerous for the community," added police. "Even without intent, a life could easily be lost."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Windsor Police at 519-255-6700 ext. 4350, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com.
