Officers are now conducting forensic enquiries into the incident. A police cordon remains in place around the area.
Merseyside Police chief inspector Rob Ross said: "We are carrying out a number of lines of enquiry in the local area to help us understand what has taken place.
"Thankfully the occupants of the car were not injured but clearly this could have had much more serious consequences.
"Guns have no place on our streets and I would urge anyone with information which could assist our investigation to contact us as a matter of urgency so we can find the person responsible.
"I would ask any taxi or delivery drivers who were in the area at around 6am today to check their dashcams to see if they captured anything suspicious and notify us immediately."
Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC or contact @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111 quoting log 206 of December 4.
