Detective Sergeant Dave Parker said police received a noise complaint about the party at a property on Spencer St, Addington, about 9.30pm, Saturday. Then, about 3am she heard gunshots. The spokeswoman said police had closed down a section of Fielding St, between Spencer St and Parlane St for a scene examination to be completed.
