Gunfire erupted Wednesday after former Lakers player Christian Wood fired several rounds during an attempted home invasion in Sherman Oaks, LAPD tells NBC4 Investigates.<\/p>\n

Wood, who was inside the two-story house, confronted the would-be burglars before running outside and firing 3 to 4 rounds at the ground, police said. The suspects were scared off and fled in a vehicle in an unknown direction.<\/p>\n

No one was injured.<\/p>\n

Police said no one was arrested, and nothing was taken from the home.\u00a0Neighbors tell NBCLA that the home is used as an Airbnb rental.<\/p>\n
