Hamilton police believe two people are lucky they weren’t seriously hurt after both were shot at in Stoney Creek, Ont. on Thursday morning.

Investigators say the shooting on Mountain Avenue just south of King Street East was targeted since several rounds were fired from a vehicle in their direction.

The suspect car, shown on surveillance video fleeing the area, is a 4-door grey or beige Honda Civic with an Ontario licence plate.

They’ve confirmed two people were in the vehicle, a driver and passenger wearing a blue medical mask and light-coloured hoodie with a reflective construction vest.

That passenger has been confirmed as the shooter, according to investigators.
