Three men are in custody following a disturbance in Glenorchy last night where it is believed a firearm was discharged.
Around 10.30pm police received reports of a firearm shot from a vehicle towards a person on Ballard Street.
Police arrived a short time later, however the alleged victim had left the scene.
Initial investigations indicate a person may have been injured before leaving the area on a scooter.
While the alleged victim has not been located, police believe the people involved in the matter are known to each other, and that this incident was targeted.
Investigators conducted a search in the Glenorchy area about 4am, and took three men into custody.
