A Philadelphia Police Department building was struck by gunfire during a nearby shootout Friday night.

The department said one bullet came through the cafeteria of its internal affairs bureau at 7790 Dungan Road around 10:45 p.m. when someone opened fire on a woman in the area. No one was hurt.

The building sits in a residential neighborhood in front of homes and up the street from a preschool. There were several spent shell casings in the area, the PPD said.

Police did not immediately make an arrest in the case.
