Multiple Lexington Facebook users claimed to have heard 15 shots in rapid succession near Trent Blvd early Thursday morning. One user said the weapons used sounded like an AK-47 “or similar” and the shots were “one after another, super loud, super fast.”
Other users quickly chimed in to substantiate the account.
I agree, I heard them and they were 15 and yes I counted. I live one street from Trent, was on my porch, 1:45 a.m.

That was a rifle, maybe an AK-47 or something. I live on Armstrong Mill and I heard all of the shots, then heard all the sirens.
