BRONX - Cops are looking for three gunmen who pumped 15 rounds of bullets into a parked car that was empty at the time. 




Cops say at around 6:23 am on February 27, three men walked up to a car parked on the corner of East 213 Street and Barnes Avenue in Ollinville. They each pulled out a handgun and unloaded 15 rounds into the car, which was vacant at the time. 




The gunmen then piled into a beat up white Mercury Marquis 4-door sedan that another member of the group was driving. They drove off northbound on Barnes Avenue. 




No one was reported injured and it is unclear why the victim’s car was shot up at the time.
