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.
