Commissioner of Public Safety Le'i Sonny Thompson said no arrests had been made, but police have gathered useful information during their investigations.
Le'i appealed for help from the public in helping find those responsible for this "cowardly act" last Thursday, which could have turned fatal.
The commissioner said that there has been a good response from the public, however, he is not able to disclose any more information at this stage.
Le'i said two police officers had responded to a call from the ASTCA security after midnight last Thursday.
While one of the officers got out to look around the baseball field, he noticed a flash from what appeared to be the muzzle of a weapon.
Le'i said one bullet shattered the window of the police vehicle and the other went through the right side front door.
