Yes. Your lease almost assuredly has a provision that says if they use the presmies for an illegal purpose the lease can be terminated. I believe intentionally discharging a firearm in a residential unit would qualify. In fact, you may have a duty to take steps to ensure than this type of event does not occur in the future.
You should immediately contact an attorney in your area to help you with this one.
