An armed response was summoned to a street in Birkby after a gun was fired.
Officers were deployed to Blacker Road late last night (Mon) after reports of shots being fired.
Residents were woken up by the noise of sirens and a police helicopter, while one woman said she heard officers banging on the door on a nearby street.
West Yorkshire Police have confirmed that nobody was injured in the shooting, and no damage was seemingly caused.
A cordon remained in place on Blacker Road at the junction with Wheathouse Road and St John’s Road this morning.
A spokesperson for police said the Force was appealing to hear from anyone who witnessed the shooting or who had information.

“No-one was injured during the incident and there was no apparent damage caused.
“A police cordon is currently in place whilst police examine the scene.”
A resident on nearby Miln Road said she heard officers banging on a door a few houses down.
The woman, who did not want to be named, said: “I was asleep in bed and I woke up hearing the helicopter at about 12.30am.
“There were loads of police outside, then I heard someone banging on a door shouting ‘police, open up’.
“I thought it was on my door so I went downstairs and opened the front door to see officers. They told me to get back inside and I realised they were at a house a few doors down.”
