Police have launched an investigation after gun shots were fired on Jane Street in Weaste.
Just before 9pm on Sunday (June 30) police were called to reports from residents who heard three gunshots in the area.
Officers attended and through initial enquiries in the area, it was established three shots had been fired on Jane Street in Salford.
Detective Inspector Justin Bryant, of GMP’s Salford crime investigation department, said: “Thankfully, no injuries were reported to us but this was reckless and we are trying hard to establish what has happened that led up to us being called.
“We are in the very early stages of our investigation and our main priority now is focussing on a white SUV vehicle which was seen in the area around the time of the incident, finding this vehicle may help us know more about what has happened.
